Wouldn't have happened on Rangel Island, however. The "mammoths" were only 4 feet tall. If they ever manage to bring back mammoths by using frozen sperm, this is the one! Less upkeep, less likely to kill their keepers, small size means you can breed them and market them as pets to the Japanese to recoup your funding!
