Thanks Gib. I did not have a complete memory of that one. There are a few animals that would have been very cool if they had made it just a little bit longer. In Alaska the Wooly mammoth hung on until just 5,000 years ago (in a stunted form on an Island in the Bearing Sea) in a few places and the mastadone died out earlier I think. I think humans extincted them when they came across the land bridge from russia about 15,000 years ago. What I never could figure out was how the musk ox did survive and the "elephants died" out. The musk ox is as dumb as a post-lol, easy prey for humans I think as they bunch together agaisnt wolves. And I assume wooly mammouths and mastadoens were as smart as todays elephants. The kodiak bear that lives on Admiralty Island in Southeast Alaska is a separate subspecies and has DNA similiar to a polar bear? I worked two seasons on the north slope right on the arctic ocean where the polar bear roams. They are the only bear I ever feared. I live right in the middle of black and grizzly bears (I have to watch out for them when I ride my bike for exercise), but they are pretty safe. But the polar bear is dangerous.
