Soon heroes entered a valley as they continued on their trek to find a small herd of mammoths, not knowing they were entering an unknown territory as Rigby was lagging behind as a song was played in the background.
Rigby: Hey, guys! Wait up, a second, hey! Hey guys! Hey fellas!
Singer: On my way
On my way
Soon Rigby has caught up with the group who stop for him, looking at the raccoon for some reason. The raccoon sighs as he sat down on a pile of rocks nearby as the heroes counted from three.
Rigby: "Man, thanks for waiting."
All:" 3, 2, 1,"
Suddenly Rigby yelps as he is launched into the air by a geyser...from the rocks that the raccoon was sitting on! His pals were actually waiting for that to happen as they laughed
Jake: "Sure is faithful, huh?"
Hannah(laughing): "Tell me about it."
Barbara: "What a loon!"
Lor: Correction, what a maroon!"
As they left not noticing Rigby landing on the snowy ground hard nearby.
On my way, on my way
I would like to reach out my hand
As the group continues to walk, Lincoln is holding Lily with a mischievous smile, the baby pokes her him. Lincoln smirks as he pokes Lily right back. Suddenly the baby, pokes her brother. The two soon end up in one major poke fest poking at one another like crazy as Lily squeals and Lincoln growling.
I may see you, I may tell you to run
on my way, on my way
You know what they say about the young
Lori: "Don't you make me come back there?!"
Lincoln: "But she started it!"
Lori: "I don't care who started it! I will literally finish it!"
Now the group reaches some sort of area, a red European Goldfinch bird flies by, making them stop. They watched as a herd of European bison or Wisent came in the parallel direction, passing them. Once it's gone, a greenish great tit bird flies by, allowing the 'group' to continue on.
Well pick me up with golden hand
I may see you, I may tell you to run
on my way, on my way
You know what they say about the young
Numbuh 2: "So where exactly are we going?"
Gerald: "I got nothing on the GPS."
As they walked past a herd of Saiga Antelopes
At one point, the group walk on an icy cliff that soon leans down to make a bridge to another one.
Well, I would like to reach out my hand
But once they got off the edge off the cliff, it suddenly jumps up, sending Patrick flying back a few inches, making him yelp each time
How we will run, we will
How we will crawl, we will
As the journey continues, Amanda, deciding to be mischievous, makes a snowball while holding Lily then smirks at the unsuspecting Charlie who is still ahead.
I would like to hold my little hand
Amanda quickly throws the snowball at Charlie, hitting him in the head. As he turns to glare at her, she innocently points at Lily as if accusing her of throwing the snowball.
How we will run, we will
How we will crawl
Charlie rolls his eyes as he continues on. The group, as the journey moves on, pass by some rocky pillars that look like human faces.
Diana: "Nice natural architecture, Too bad it won't last in the future."
Send me on my way
Ash walked and noticed some the strange human ape-like footprints .Send me on my way
Send me on my way
Send me on my way
Send me on my way
Mm-hmm
But he ignored the footprints, In fear of not scaring the group or not believing him. For a while, the group stops at an ice pond to have some fun and such. Of course, some of them were having trouble skating due to the obvious...all but one octopus who skates circles around his pals mischievously while holding Lily with Lola figure skating.
Squidward: "Hey Ya losers!"
He laughs as he continues showing off while keeping his hold on Lily, then skates out of scene. Suddenly we heard a crash with the baby girl sliding back without the octopus . As we see the group heading off a few seconds later, we find Squidward stuck in a wall, trying to get out.
Patrick and Spongebob: Hey Squidward!
A while later, the group came to a three way fork ravines.
Finn: "I think we're getting lost.
Trey: "No we're not, I know exactly where we're going."
Numbuh 1: "Oh yeah, prove it"
Lana Loud: "How about I ask that squirrel for directions?"
She was pointing to an Eurasian Red squirrel burying his nut under the snow.
Eddy: "You're gonna ask a squirrel for directions?"
Lana loud: "Uup, Hey little Guy! Have you seen any Woolly Mammoths around here?"
The Squirrel thinks out a bit then decides to help through a game of charades first by stomping the snow with his feet.
Lana: "A game?"
Leni: "Oh it's Charades. I love this game."
Leni: "Okay, three words...first word...stomp, no, stamp."
The squirrel shakes his head then holds his nut as if some sort of pack.
Akko: "Pack."
The squirrel nods as they're getting close.
Thomas: "Ok, what else?"
Then the squirrel shows its teeth and carries a stick like a weapon spear and points to his furry head.
Ed: Uh, a pack of weapons, spears, teeth, claws...and hairy."
Charlie: "It'd be a bit hard to understand.
Ed: "Pack of wolves?"
Lola: "A pack of bears?"
Dog: "Pack of fleas?"
Pops: "Pack of whiskers?"
Patrick: "Pack of noses?"
Thomas: "Well...uh...pachyderm!"
Rigby: "Pack of lies."
Ron: "Pack of troubles!"
Tish: "Pack of raptors!"
Bloo: "Pack of foxes!"
Goh: "Pack of wallops!"
Lincoln: "Pack of birds!"
Spongebob: "Pack of flying fish!"
Charlie: "Pack of dogs!"
Ash: "Pack of… dingos"
Mordecai: "Pack of saber tooths"
Thomas: I told you guys before. There are no saber tooths in this part of the ice age
In Europe and Asia
They heard a growl which scares the squirrel off and our heroes hurry on their way not wanting to face the threat.
I would like to hold my little hand
How we will run, we will
How we will crawl, we will
I would like to hold my little hand
Amanda smirks as he puts Lily down on a rock and makes another snowball, throwing it at Charlie once more. Once the snowball hits Charlie, he glares back once more.
Charlie: "Ok, now I know it's you!"
How we will run, we will
How we will crawl, we will
This time, Lily smirks while pointing at Amanda who yelps in alarm. Not good.
Charlie:" I knew it!"
Sure enough, Charlie throws one huge snowball at her, causing him to get hit by it and knocking the witch to the ground as she grunts in the crash. Lily giggled while Charlie himself grins.
Send me on my way
The journey gets a bit chilly as the group heads out into a blizzard, struggling while moving on. There were icicles forming on us like Patrick's eyelids were frozen, Spongebob having two Snotsicles coming out of his nose, Squidward shivering like mad, Sandy's helmet is like fragile glass/thin ice that was ready shatter, Kiawe was catching a cold and sneezing Goh was shivering and all blue, like "a human popsicle," Lori was keeping lily warm in her coat,and
Numbuh 1 kept checking his hands, to see if he was catching frostbite or not
Numbuh 1: "whew, not a single black Fingertip."
Thomas: "We just need to find somewhere to weather this blizzard."
Charlie: "Like a shelter, Hopefully, it'll be warm enough."
We were still trudging through the blizzard pulling the snowmobiles from behind, in vain search of a cave. Suddenly, whispers in a strange language were carried, almost wraith-like in the air,
Numbuh 5: "Huh?"
Sam: "What was that?!"
Lor: "It sounds like voices?!"
Charlie: "Oh my, we're not alone!"
They turned around to see in the distance. Following the whispers, group of tall, dark-light brown skinned humans, clad in animal pelts, snow shoes, men, women, and children, their faces had red ochre mostly around the eyes and heels, stood over the butchered corpse of a the sight of the toons and humans, they went rigid and lifted their spears in fear. Some of the kids hid behind us, as We stood in Shock, Fear and amazement.
Cilan: "Cave people
Thomas: "Yes, Cro-magnons to be exact, the ancestors of modern day European humans."
Double D: 'If anyone has weapons? Drop them now because we are armed."
Thomas: "Do what Double D says everyone drops any weapon or anything that looks like a weapon down? That way they won't see us as a threat!"
Soon everyone dropped their weapons or what looked like a weapon to the snow floor and entered a "we come in peace" state.
Double D: "Look, see! we're unarmed – no weapon in my hands. It means "no fighty-fighty."
As they looked on, the Cro-Magnons were noticeably furtive – like petty thieves anticipating the return of the householder. Eventually, realizing they meant no harm, they lowered their spears.
Charlie: "Whew, and they're accepting our peaceful approach."
Then Thomas makes the next move approaching behind his team.
Thomas: "Listen I know you can't understand me, but we mean no harm. Just listen to the tone of my voice or something. Is there a place to weather out this snow storm?! Like a cave?!"
Still not understanding Thomas, the hunt leader pointed at them and uttered a command to his subordinate, who tossed his spear, which landed at Thomas' feet. Thomas picked it up and nodded to the hunt leader, who nodded in reply, and then pointed his arm in a roughly westerly direction and said something in his language. Thomas and Charlie knew what this meant – there was somewhere, some distance away where they could get shelter. We walked off, in the direction the hunt leader had pointed. Some were speechless with the encounter. As they continued trudging through the snow, they stopped when they heard the sound of a loud trumpeting bellow splitting the air ahead of them caused the group to briefly come to a halt, eyes widened in equal parts shock and awe.
Lillie: "Guys that sounds like a mammoth?"
Charlie: "Are you sure, Lil?"
Lillie: "Yes, I am positive, that was a trumpet."
Thomas: "Figures don't lie."
And Lillie was right. They managed to see a Dark Brown Wooly Mammoth, a solitary bull traveling alone.
Thomas: "That's a lone Bull traveling alone by himself right you see in a woolly mammoth, it's got the adaptations built to survive in the ice age. They were probably the most specialized member of the family Elephantidae. Obviously it's their long hairy Woolly fur over their entire body that gives them their name. The very long hairs on the tail probably compensated for the shortness of the tail, enabling its use as a flyswatter, similar to the tail on modern elephants. They had lipopexia or fat storage in their neck and withers, for times when food availability was insufficient during winter, and their first three molars grew more quickly than in the calves of modern elephants. As in reindeer and musk oxen, the hemoglobin of the woolly mammoth was adapted to the cold, with three mutations to improve oxygen delivery around the body and prevent freezing. This feature may have helped the mammoths to live at high latitudes."
Lisa: "That's true Thomas. Scientists even looked into the genetics of mammoths. And the studies do not lie, at least, not all the time. They were more closely related to Asian Elephants than African elephants. In a 2015 study, high-quality genome sequences from three Asian elephants and two woolly mammoths were compared. About 1.4 million DNA nucleotide differences were found between mammoths and elephants, which affect the sequence of more than 1,600 proteins. Differences were noted in genes for a number of aspects of physiology and biology that would be relevant to Arctic survival, including development of skin and hair, storage and metabolism of adipose tissue, and perceiving temperature. Genes related to both sensing temperature and transmitting that sensation to the brain were altered. One of the heat-sensing genes encodes a protein, TRPV3, found in skin, which affects hair growth. When inserted into human cells, the mammoth's version of the protein was found to be less sensitive to heat than the elephant's. This is consistent with a previous observation that mice lacking active TRPV3 are likely to spend more time in cooler cage locations than wild-type mice, and have wavier hair. Several alterations in circadian clock genes were found, perhaps needed to cope with the extreme polar variation in length of daylight. Similar mutations are known in other Arctic mammals, such as reindeer. A 2019 study of the woolly mammoth mitogenome suggests that these had metabolic adaptations related to extreme environments."
Bloo: "Hey look at these footprints it made in the snow."
Thomas: "GHood observation, Bloo, they look very similar to elephants. A well-preserved foot of the adult male "Yukagir mammoth" shows that the soles of the feet contained many cracks that would have helped in gripping surfaces during locomotion especially in the snow. Like modern elephants, woolly mammoths walked on their toes and had large, fleshy pads behind the toes. Meaning they were very silent giants walkers
Clemont: "So how big do you think they were?"
Thomas: "It's been estimated that Males reached shoulder heights between 2.7 and 3.4 m (8.9 and 11.2 ft) and weighed up to 6 metric tons (6.6 short tons). Females reached 2.6–2.9 m (8.5–9.5 ft) in shoulder heights and weighed up to 4 metric tons (4.4 short tons). A newborn calf weighed about 90 kg (200 lb), and I think we should follow him and he could lead us to a herd."
As our heroes followed the bull mammoth they found themselves in a valley. Nearby a ten-member crash of very large rhinos were currently grazing in a clearing within the same valley as the mammoth. They looked vaguely like white rhinos, only considerably bigger, with much longer horns, and covered in thick dark woolly brown fur and the eye region is mostly bare of fur, mostly dark brown skin. In some adults they were grayish brown in the back, shoulder, neck, and head regions, one dominant bull was brown in those regions with the dark brown woolly fur covering the rest leaving a dark saddle patch from the shoulder to the back even a neck mane, and in the males dark brownish beards. Three of them were calves and the remaining seven were adult and unlike Elasmotherium, it had two horns instead of one.
Bubbles: "Look more hairy rhinos!"
Lisa: "The classic woolly rhinoceros (Coelodonta antiquitatis), the other woolly rhino species. While Elasmotherium had one horn and Coelodonta had two horns, like most rhinos their horns were made of keratin, with one long horn reaching forward, and a smaller horn between the eyes."
Charlie: "Not to mention like the Mammoths, they're brown and hairy as expected."
Lisa: "There are Frozen specimens indicating that the woolly rhino's long fur coat was reddish-brown, with a thick undercoat that lay under a layer of long, coarse guard hair thickest on the withers and neck. Shorter hair covered the limbs, keeping snow from attaching. But yes, just as you would expect from a woolly ice age animal."
Thomas: "I always have a soft spot for rhinos too. Woolly rhinoceros remains have been known long before the species was described, and were the basis for some mythical creatures. Native peoples of Siberia believed their horns were the claws of giant birds. A study of 40,000- to 70,000-year-old DNA samples showed its closest living relative is the Sumatran rhinoceros. Asia's only living two horned rhino and the smallest rhino species alive today. An adult woolly rhinoceros typically measured 3 to 3.8 meters (9.8 to 12.5 ft) from head to tail, with an estimated weight of around 1,800–2,700 kg (4,000–6,000 lb)[18] or 2,000 kg (4,400 lb). It grew up to 2 m (6.6 ft) tall at the shoulder, about the same size as the white rhinoceros. A one-month-old calf like this one wandering about was about 120 centimeters (3.9 ft) in length and 72 centimeters (2.36 ft) tall at the shoulder. The body's length ended with a 45 to 50 centimeters (1.48 to 1.64 ft) tail with a brush of coarse hair at the end, and their tails were relatively shorter. Compared to other rhinoceroses, the woolly rhinoceros had a longer head and body, and shorter legs.
Tucker: "Well, not to mention, The skull had a length between 70 to 90 centimeters (28 to 35 in). It was longer than those of other rhinoceros, giving the head a deep, downward-facing slanting position, similar to its fossil relatives Stephanorhinus and Elasmotherium as well as the white rhinoceros. Its shoulder was raised with a powerful hump, used to support the animal's massive front horn and strong muscles on its long occipital bone formed its neck hock and held the massive skull. The hump also contained a fat reserve to aid survival through the desolate winters of the mammoth steppe. Other several adaptations features in the woolly rhino include reducing the body's surface area and minimized heat loss. Its ears were no longer than 24 centimeters (9.4 in), while those of rhinos in hot climates are about 30 centimeters (12 in). It also had thick skin, ranging from 5 to 15 millimeters (0.20 to 0.59 in), heaviest on the chest and shoulders. The nasal septum, the part of the nose that separates the left and right airways of the nasal cavity, dividing the two nostrils, of the woolly rhinoceros was ossified, unlike modern rhinos. This was most common in adult males. This adaptation probably evolved as a result of the heavy pressure on the horn and face when the rhinoceros grazed underneath the thick snow. Unique to this rhino, the nasal bones were fused to the premaxillae, which is not the case in older Coelodonta types or today's rhinoceroses. The teeth of the woolly rhinoceros had thickened enamel and an open internal cavity. Like other rhinos, adults did not have incisors. It had 3 premolars and 3 molars in both jaws. The molars were high-crowned and had a thick coat of cementum. Its massive lower jaw measured up to 60 centimeters (24 in) long and 10 centimeters (3.9 in) high. Both genders had two horns. The front horn reached at least a meter (3.3 ft) long, up to 1.4 meters (4.6 ft), and its weight reached 15 kilograms (33 lb). It faced far forward, more than those of modern rhinos. The back horn was shorter."
Thomas: "The woolly rhinoceros lived mainly in lowlands, plateaus and river valleys like this one, with dry to arid climates, and migrated to higher elevations in favorable climate phases. It avoided mountain ranges, due to heavy snow and steep terrain that the animal could not easily its wide distribution, the woolly rhinoceros lived in some areas alongside the other rhinoceroses like Stephanorhinus and Elasmotherium that we met before. And look how the calves stick close to the mothers. The woolly rhinoceros had a similar life history to modern rhinos. Studies on milk teeth show that individuals developed similarly to both the white and black rhinoceros. The two teats in the female suggest that she raised one calf, or more rarely two, every two to three years. Similar to modern rhinos, calves lived with their mother for around three years before searching for their own individual territory, reaching sexual maturity within five years. Woolly rhinoceroses could reach around 40 years of age, like their modern sometimes gather in small herds known as crashes like this one here.
They hear grunting and snorting two young males sparring with their horns
Mordecai: "Looks like those two are in a duel."
But they stopped when they heard a loud bellow coming from a larger male Woolly Rhino charging in reminding them who's in charge putting an end to the fight.
Thomas: "Woolly rhinos may have used their horns for combat, probably including intraspecific combat as recorded in cave paintings One scene depicts two rhinos fighting each other with their horns. Woolly rhinos were probably territorial like their modern counterparts, defending themselves from competitors, particularly during the rutting season. This larger bull is reminding these two young bulls that he's the dominant one here. Fossil skulls indicate damage from the front horns of other rhinos, and lower jaws and back ribs show signs of being broken and reformed, which may have also come from fighting. The apparent frequency of intraspecific combat, compared to recent rhinos, was likely a result of rapid climatic change during the last glacial period, when the animal faced increased stress from competition with other large herbivores. Other than fighting rivals and predators, Their horns may have also been used to attract mates."
Soon the team observed another rhino using its horns to plow the snow to find plants hidden underneath and the Bull Mammoth using its trunk to pick leaves off from a spruce tree.
Thomas: "That is another purpose of the horns for moving snow to uncover vegetation during winter. Woolly rhinoceroses mostly fed on grasses and sedges that grew in the mammoth steppe. Its long, slanted head with a downward-facing posture, and tooth structure all helped it graze on vegetation. Their lifestyle is similar to another modern day White Rhinoceros of Africa. It had a wide upper lip like that of the white rhinoceros, which allowed it to easily pluck vegetation directly from the ground. Pollen analysis shows it also ate woody plants (including conifers, willows and alders), along with flowers, forbs and mosses. Isotope studies on horns show that the woolly rhinoceros had a seasonal diet; different areas of horn growth suggest that it mainly grazed in summer, while it browsed for shrubs and branches in the winter.
Another winter adaptation is changing your diet to the seasons depending what food is available like that bull mammoth picking leaves from that spruce tree.
Tucker: "I also read that during a strain vector biomechanical investigation of the skull, mandible and teeth of a well-preserved last cold stage individual recovered from Whitemoor Haye, Staffordshire, revealed musculature and dental characteristics that support a grazing feeding preference. In particular, the enlargement of the temporalis and neck muscles is consistent with that required to resist the large tugging forces generated when taking large mouthfuls of fodder from the ground. The presence of a large diastema supports this theory. Comparisons with living perissodactyls confirm that the woolly rhinoceros was a hindgut fermenter with a single stomach, consuming cellulose-rich, protein-poor fodder. It had to consume a heavy amount of food to account for the low nutritive content of its diet. Woolly rhinos living in the Arctic during the Last Glacial Maximum consumed approximately equal volumes of forbs, such as Artemisia, and graminoids. Many rhinoceros remains have been found preserved in the permafrost region.
Frozen bodies including specimens like a young woolly rhino calf named "Sasha" had most of its internal organs prevented intact back in September 2014 It was discovered by two hunters, Alexander "Sasha" Banderov and Simeon Ivanov, at a tributary of the Semyulyakh River in the Abyysky District in Yakutia, Russia. Its head and horns, fur, and soft tissues were recovered and it was seven months old at the time of its death and the body was handed over to the Yakutia Academy of rhino found was between three and four years old and it is thought that the cause of death was drowning. It is one of the best preserved animals recovered from the region, having most of its internal organs intact. The discovery was also notable for the preservation of a small nasal horn, a rarity as these normally decompose quickly. With its well-intact preservation, scientists proceeded to undergo DNA analysis."
Thomas: "By the end of the Riss glaciation about 130 thousand years ago, the woolly rhinoceros lived throughout northern Eurasia, spanning most of Europe, the Russian Plain, Siberia, and the Mongolian Plateau, ranging to extremes of 72° to 33°N. Fossils have been found as far north as the New Siberian Islands. It had the widest range of any rhinoceros species.
With their massive horns and size, adults had few predators, but young individuals could be attacked by animals such as hyenas and cave lions. A skull was found with trauma indicating an attack from a feline, but the animal survived to adulthood."
Serena: "Look how they greet each other, they're rubbing their noses together.:
Pointing out to two rhinos a male and a female rubbing into their snouts and horns together in greeting
Thomas: "You're right, Serena. That's how they greet each other, but we have to be very careful just like the Elasmotheriums. We have to stay downwind of them. They have poor eyesight, but they can hear and smell us."
Close by appeared to be an early human carrying a large bundle of wood. He was fairly short, appearing only to be about five feet tall, but he was also built like a wrestler. He also had a conspicuously large nose, his long hair and beard were a fiery red, and he was clad in animal furs.
Thomas: "Look over there!"
Charlie: "What do you know? A real life caveman."
Thomas: "Most likely he's a Neanderthal."
He appeared to be moving fairly urgently, as if trying desperately to stay ahead of the mammoth long enough to find out how best to get out of the way of the beast… a task that would be far more complicated.
Thomas: "Look he's fully clothed in animal fur not loincloths in most depictions to keep warm in the cold winter of the ice age. This species of human lived in Eurasia until about 40,000 years ago. Over the past years, We have learned more about these people. They weren't the dumb brutes we think of. Neanderthal technology was quite sophisticated which includes stone tools, ability to make fire, craft at least simple clothes similar to blankets and ponchos, weave, cook, make use of medicinal plants. In the southern warm Mediterranean coasts, they even fished and went seafaring. They hunted a variety of animals and gathered plants to eat as well, although they were probably apex predators, they still competed with the other ice age predators. Compared to humans like us, Neanderthals had a more robust build and proportionally shorter limbs. These features as adaptations to conserve heat in a cold climate, but they may also have been adaptations for sprinting in the warmer, forested landscape that Neanderthals often , they had cold-specific adaptations, such as specialized body-fat storage and an enlarged nose to warm air (although the nose could have been caused by genetic drift.) They built tents and lived in caves as well. They went extinct due to climate change and interbreeding with the modern humans when they arrived."
Squidward: "Thomas, I don't want to interrupt, but don't you realize that he's walking between a woolly mammoth and a group of wooly rhinoceroses?!"
Charlie: "He does have a point that the rhinos can't see the Neanderthal, They have poor eyesight. But they have a great sense of smell and hearing. They can hear and smell him."
As the neanderthal moved closer, one of the adults suddenly sniffed the air and snorted aggressively, pausing in its grazing in the process.
Spongebob: "Charlie what happens When a rhino smells or hears you?"
Charlie: "Well, They Charge! And impale you with their long horns, that would spoil your weekend."
The rest of the crash followed, and all bellowed warily when the sound of another trumpeting bellow from the mammoth, plus the combined smell of it and the neanderthal, reached their attention. The Neanderthal turned his head away from the mammoth to look behind him, and his eyes widened at the sight of the now very wary looking woolly rhinos threateningly snorting and pawing their feet, all while the still angry looking bull mammoth came to a stop, stomped his feet, and trumpeted antagonistically at the Neanderthal. At this point, the Neanderthal went rigid; at this point, if he stayed where he was or blundered into either the mammoth or the rhinos, he would definitely be killed. He was trapped.
Thomas: "It seems the rhinos and mammoths do have some bad memories with Neanderthals as they hunted them. There are cave paintings that depict such hunts including rhinos struck with arrows or spears."
Serena: "This is not good, he needs help."
Ash: "Yeah, we should Serena."
Pikachu: "Pika! Pika!"
She drew out the airhorn and blared it as loud as he could. The mammoth and rhinos all tensed up, clearly surprised, and then turned their heads towards the tiny humans in the direction the sudden loud noise had come from. Once Ash realized she had successfully gotten the beasts' attention, Serena smirked, a confident look on their face as she cautiously reached into her parka pocket and drew out her portal remote as well as her audio player. In a flash, the mammoth and all seven of the adult coelodonta narrowed their eyes, grunted threateningly, and began to paw their feet as if preparing to charge, with the mammoth aggressively waving his trunk side to side in an intimidation attempt. The Neanderthal, meanwhile, was now feeling quite confused about the sudden loud noise and what the two strange beings he now saw in the direction said noise had come from were. But at the same time, he also quickly took note of how the mammoth and coelodonta were distracted and no longer focused on him; at which point he hurriedly ran away as fast as his legs could carry him, making it to a safer position. The woolly rhinos charged first, as Serena quickly ran, at a right angle to the charging rhinos, straight into what he believed an ideal position. And once the incoming rhinos had gotten close enough, he hurriedly summoned the portal. Moving too fast to stop, the entire crash went charging right through the portal and into the safety of the park. Now it was time to ensure the same could be said about the mammoth.
Ash, seeing that Serena was still perfectly fine, turned in the direction of the mammoth, which was now stomping its feet antagonistically while still bellowing and swinging his trunk in Ash's direction, and played a recording of a modern bull elephant's trumpeting bellow at full volume on her audio player. The mammoth looked aggressively at her, now even angrier than it had already been before now that it had heard what it took to be a rival's bellowing. And soon, with an outraged loud bellow of its own, it pawed its left front foot and charged towards Ash. And once the furious mammoth had gotten close enough, Ash summoned his portal remote, at which point the beast charged straight through to the present.
Charlie: "Well done you two!"
Ash: "Thanks guys,"
Serena: "It was nothing."
Thomas: "Other than those rhinos, we did got a Woolly Mammoth, A Male Bull although we still need a family herd
Kiawe: "But where are we gonna find a family?"
Thomas: "We should travel more and rest somewhere that the Cro-Magnons told us to."
As the rescue team trudges on. The Neanderthal, meanwhile, observed this whole scene and he had to admit, he was rather confused. These strange odd newcomers were very strange hybrid looking beings, with the facial appearances of a Cro-Magnon, yet the skin of his own kind although some aren't humans at all. And they were also dressed in clothing that was totally unfamiliar to him. He was also curious as to how they'd managed to make the bull mammuki and herd of rhinani he'd been trapped between seemingly vanish in a burst of light; but he soon reasoned that this was perhaps an illusion similar to the kind he'd seen Cro-Magnon witch doctors perform. But regardless, he could now tell that the two strange beings would soon be in great danger. For as he continued to watch them, he noticed that they were heading in the direction of what he knew to be the territory of what his kin called a pardrai, or spotted one. And he knew that being in such a place, particularly at nightfall, could be very disastrous indeed. He himself was only as close to the area as he was because he'd been forced to take a detour over the course of the blizzard that had unexpectedly unfolded while he'd been out collecting firewood for his tribe. And while he knew that the lupon or hyenadhi would be quite likely to flee at the sound of shouting or sight of fire, the strong pardrai and opportunistic leonai only feared mammuki, rhinani, and urzhadhi. And the last of those three he knew to be in the midst of their snow sleep. And those were just the beasts…
They were heading towards the hunting grounds of the Kzamm – he shuddered at the name. The Kzamm were men, great hairy men of prodigious size, strength and ferocity, that he feared more than any beast. If they were not careful, they would be hunted like vermin and killed – if they were lucky. The only creatures the Kzamm even vaguely feared were mammuki and rhinani – the only creatures that could surpass them in strength. That was likely why the group had presumably been following the mannuki, for the sake of hopefully causing any predator to stay away for fear of incurring the wrath of the greater beasts. Of course, such a tactic was very risky, as it could easily lead to them trading death by pardrai or leonai claws or Kzamm spears for death at the tusks or trampling from a mannuki. But regardless, they had saved his life. He owed them a debt.
. . . . .
Back at the park, Travis couldn't help but whistle as he observed the bull woolly mammoth and ten-member crash of woolly rhino that were now present and warily observing the unfamiliar environment around them.
Travis: "Well, these are great fine additions, So far they finally got a mammoth and it's a bull."
Keeper: "Great, just great, more rhinos."
Keeper#2: "Hey, We get what we get!"
Travis: "Agreed. Hardly any sense crying over spilled milk." (He clapped his hands.) "Let's get to work! We'll have more mammoths by the end of the this time will be a family herd."
Keepers: "Sir! yes sir!"
