Baby Mammoths on ice!

Make Believe you're in a jungle movie. Watch the frozen baby elephants mammoths go by. The beat world is groovy.

Awesome pictures of the frozen little guy, and a BBC story about the find a few years ago.

Yo, D-O-C, let's kick it!

Ice Ice Baby, Ice Ice Baby (mammoth)

All right stop, examinate and listen
Baby mammoth's back with a brand new dissection
Something grabs a hold of her tightly
Then she choked on sediment daily and nightly
Will it ever stop? yo -- I don't know
Turn on the CT and I'll show
Through the extremities I peer inside like a vandal
Light up the history books of Mammoth evolution like a candle.

...may you dream of it at dawn,
Clad in bronze and brocade and ostrich feathers,
Like that magnificent beast which once
Bore Hannibal to trembling Rome.

Make believe you're posting on MeFi while high. Poetry flows or maybe not?

Make more now!

Give me the first one.

I promise not to abandon it in the park when it gets too big.
