Last of His Kind
When the earth thawed, Mammoths found their personal Manhattan in the Pacific Northwest but with their own trumpet instead of car horns. Mammoths were among the original vegans and the island was like getting to raid the 24-hour salad bar on a cruise ship. They were luckier than pigeons in Yankee Stadium with walnuts as leftovers instead of popcorn. The hairy behemoths became grandparent figures for the humans. Thereby the sacred purpose of the lumbering beasts no longer required sacrifice. The last of his kind shook the hoarfrost off his woolly hair before lumbering onto a floe only to use his flanks as ballasts while seeking the grass-sea where the wild tundra scent blows.

With your words I can see the mammoth in his natural habitat. Magnificent beast that he is.
