I was thinking earlier. After I stopped, I started thinking about mammoths. They were SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO forgot where this sentence was going. Oh yeah! They were BIG! So I was wondering; "How did they get around?" And more importantly; "How were they never late for things?" Cuz when you're THAT big you can't go very fast, and go-carts weren't invented until the Jurassic Park Period! My first theory? That they somehow managed to weld themselves to other mammoths, thus making them go faster. I concluded this wasn't the case as they'd need disposable thumbs, which mammoths don't have. I think. I mean I know! Cuz I'm a dentist. Their fur. Their fur was the best kind of fur. It was the swingy kind. Best kind of fur. Swingy fur. They used their fur to swing REAL fast to wherever they needed to go! There's just one problem, Mammoths were only alive during the ice age, and there were no trees to swing from at that time. See, trees need water to survive, but all the water was frozen! So that was that theory out the window. Threw it out the window. Window's closed. Still threw it out. Look at this thing ---> AND THEN I FIGURED "Well if they didn't swing, they must have skated!" I'm not sure if this holds up considering ice skates weren't invented by Brian Boitano until the Cold War. I'm holding onto it but I'm a little shaky. How do YOU think Mammoths got around so efficiently?
It could be a forgotten art, Ice Skating. Perhaps the mammoths did indeed invent it. But what if they didn't move at all? Perhaps they grew on the spot, like tree's, but swiping up what they needed as it went by, using their trunk. perhaps that's why they died out- They had a tough time avoiding prey.
Mammoths rolled down hills, using their swingy fur to quickly gather snow. The resuting giant snowballs would carry enough momentum to drive them up the next hill, and so on. This is also why they evolved their long trunks; in order to breathe they would extend the trunk to the outer shell of the giant snowball.
Maybe they used their trunks to create suction which would move them towards other objects or animals.
YES. This. Definitely. This is the strangest thread I have ever opened, including troll threads. Congrats!
Being serious for a moment, scientists are seeing if they can resurrect mammoths using tissue from specimens frozen in ice. If they succeed, we can just ask them ourselves how they got around.

I do believe you are mistaken my good sir. Mammoth's used their fur to fly. When they were younger, they could not grow their fur as fast, but as they got older, they used it to glide from place to place depending on the wind and direction. Those who had homes on mountaintops were the few lucky enough to go anywhere no matter the wind. They would spread their fur, and it would cath wind. Boom, they're flying! Of course as time went on, they started to need liscences from the inuit in the area to fly. Of course that did not stop the unruly younger mammoths from trying. And that is how 9/11 started. damn mammoths and their high tech air flying abilities. Of course they went ice skating as a leisurely sport, and snowballing was used to wipe out small tribes that the mammoth KKK didn't like. And that my little ponies is why you should never give a mammoth his or her flying liscence.
Actually, I hypothesize that mammoths had rocket boosters attatched to their backsides. Archaeologists simply haven't discovered them because our ancestors that hunted mammoths ate those boosters for their high iron content. MMMMM!
The legit-ness level. IT'S OVER 9000 No, but in all seriousness, Mammoths clearly used skateboards. Why, you may ask? Obviously because they did not have enough muscle to move on their own, so they invented skateboards. And as the wheel is needed to make the skateboard, they invented the wheel. And as fire is needed to create the steel that make the axle of the board, mammoths also invented smelting and fire before humans. Mammoths are the 3rd most intelligent creature that ever lived. The second most intelligent is Dolphins, and the most intelligent is White Mice.
I hear they're working on making some mammoths in china and Russia. http://www.chinapost.com.tw/life/science-&-technology/2012/03/14/334500/S-Korean.htm I hope they do. Considering we ate their species into extinction they must be delicious.
We didn't EAT THEM TO EXTINCTION! During the Ice Age, cavemen launched a rocket ship fueled by their leader's grandma's special fudge cake recipe. The rocket ship was destroyed by the Death Star soon after leaving the atmosphere. The fudge cake scattered across the world and the mammoths ate it all. The massive amount of deliciousness caused all their fur to fall off and they became the first elephants, with the babies becoming armadillos.
OK, ok. I'm settling this once and for all: First of all, Wooly Mammoths didn't move at all. The universe moved around them. They could create a black hole with their trunks that warped Space/Time around them, so what was the ponit of expending energy to move? They could also speak to each other using an intricate series of screetches and clapping of hands. Yes, they had hands. Look it up if you don't believe me. It might take a while of searching because it's kind of a cover-up, like the Moon landing (which happened in real life, but scientists are spreading theories that it was faked as a double-Xanatos gambit to fool any aliens and Princess Luna. You can look that up, too). They lived in huts that were too small for them but like I said before, since the universe revolves around them, they could simply travel back into time when they were very small as well so they could live in them. Oh, and the huts are made of water. What else? Wooly Mammoths were hunted to extinction by Windigoes because they spent a lot of their time infighting and causing all sorts of chaos and destruction. The universe was destroyed no less than three times because of the wooly mammoths and their heavy metal music, so there's that. But it's okay because wooly mammoths are actually not real. Except that their remains have been discovered by scientists who may or may not have visited the moon during the 16th century. So there.
Mammoths invented the pulse laser 12000 years before their extinction.They sent them into the year 2012.The lasers are buried above the Earths core in a cafe.The only way to get there is to find the secret portal in Atlantis.
