Chapter 11: Girelephant
Quite possible the most famous prehistoric mammal that used to live, is the Woolly Mammoth. 10,000 during the time when these ancient elephants starting going extinct, several populations started traveling across various land bridges to get to skull island to escape the hunters. The size of this migration was peculiar but still a small fraction of the number of mammoths on the mainland. Once they got to island they flourished and adapted to an even harsher environment, despite being much warmer than their used to. Now at 27 ft tall these woolly mammoths that dwarf their ancient ancestors. Frequently they are pretty docile and spend their time grazing in herds that interconnect with her herbivore species like sauropods, rhinos, ceratopsians and other mammoth species. With their massive size only some of the larger predators attack them, which include their main natural predators the giant Mole bears, and the semi nocturnal Owl Bear. However even then most victims are caught by surprise or mostly injured. Very rarely are bull males attacked, and the attacker's are exclusively swarm predators, Tyrannosaurs, Spinosaurs or giant giraffe like spots a case of convergent evolution are used for camouflage especially when they are young, and stay there when they are adults, as a sign of health and strength. The brighter the spots, the more healthier the mammoth, plus whenever they are in a stampede even organized predators like the Ceratosuchuses and Allonychus would have a hard time picking one of the weaker ones to take down.
