Me, gesturing with a small stuffed animal: See, this is a woolly mammoth, not a mastodon– see the curved tusks, the way the head is much higher than the shoulders, the sloping body, the domed head. dude, unimpressed: oh, so it’s definitely not a mastodon. me: Right, that’s why this one’s named Willy. Because he’s a woolly mammoth. They didn’t call them woolly mastodons. dude: why not? me: there were only woolly ones. there weren’t non-woolly mastodons. dude: were there non-woolly mammoths? me, scoffing at him not knowing this obvious thing: yeah! Columbian mammoths! dude, slowly: were they… skinny mammoths? (Your picture was not posted)
