I realize that you're having fun with this, but for the benefit of others there are diseases like this among dogs. The bitch can be infected relatively harmlessly. If she passes it to the stud dog, he can become infected and eventually sterile, potentially ending his genetic line.
There are also diseases like anthrax among cattle. I could see something like that spreading like wildfire, too.
This seems to be “Wooly Mammoth Week”
My theory is they all starved to death..........
Nah, it's an AC week for me...the heat index is 105 here.
This is just tremendously cool. I love this stuff.
Mammoth told me there’d be weeks like this.
[rimshot!]
There are reports of sitings of Woolly Mammoth in Alaska
as late as the 1800s. We find their bones all over the
place up here.
Too bad Hillary hasn’t passed anything along to hubby.
They got a sample from the scene that matches David Copperfield?
groan...
You punsters always have a handy pun.
The trick was to get them to jump off a cliff or fall in a hole.
Most of these points were gathered in a small area where large mammals gathered to eat grass, represent three cultures, and clearly indicate that the users were far more interested in cutting up meat or leather than killing large critters.
Tusk,Tusk, that’s a really bad one.
I was trunk when I posted that.

Even more evidence that the subject of ‘Mammoths’ is bubbling up into our conscienceness this week. There is something supernatural working here.
Something mammoth this way comes.
I woolly think you’re onto something.
that “forests caused extinction” mammoth guy:

“Their genetic data indicate that Siberian mammoths expanded from a small base some time before sixty thousand years ago. Moreover, they found two distinct genetic groups, implying that mammoths had diverged in isolation for some time before merging back into a single population. The DNA further suggests that no later than forty thousand years ago, one of the groups died out, leaving only the second alive at the time of the mammoths last gasp.”
