Was the mammoth rolling around while being wet? Wool does not shrink just by getting wet. It needs to be rubbed or at least moved somehow. Perhaps the hunters were hugging him too much? Used him as a makeshift washcloth?
Henry Beck Hirst (1813-74) was a lawyer, a pet-store owner, a poet and one of Edgar Allan Poe’s favorite drinking buddies. In 1845, he published “The Coming of the Mammoth”. a poetry antholgy. The title piece is about an Ice-Age Native American tribe persuing a man-eating(!) mammoth across the North American continent. Poe called it “preposterous”.And then he criticised it.

So, wolly mammoths have been getting rained on for over 12,000 years. Does that mean they never went extinct, but instead are just too small to see?

At least he’s safe from cavemen hunters.

Can we call him a woolly minimum now?

Minmoths – often served on a stick slathered with chocolate.

So sheep should shrink when they are out in the rain.
