Mammoth

Mammoths were a species of proboscidean mammal native to Earth in humanity's prehistory. They were related to elephants. They evolved from elephants that migrated from Africa to the north and adapted to Europe, Northern Asia including Russia, and North America in the Ice Age. Like elephants, they are capable of intelligence and compassion.

George III's Mammoth
In 1774, King George III received the last mammoth in Europe as a gift from Catherine II of Russia, it was to have been part of the royal hunt in December. Following the end of the War, this mammoth was vital to the last surviving members of Faction Paradox and other interested parties, since it was considered a relic which would act as a focal point around which history would be shaped. The ritual of the hunt itself was to determine who would control the future. The focus of the hunt, however, shifted to the last of the Mayakai. (FP: Political Animals)


 * At this time there were still numerous contradictions following the Second War in Heaven and it is likely that at least some some of these events may have changed. Like the war itself, it is possible for one in a thousand to remember what had occurred in a collapsed timeline.

Most people in later times regarded the story of the king receiving a mammoth as just part of a larger tradition of strange rumours that circulated about high society, particularly about the more dubious members of the aristocracy. In 1782, during a night of drinking with the Eighth Doctor, Scarlette claimed that she had once ridden George III's mammoth. (EDA: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)

As late as 1804, Thomas Jefferson believed that woolly mammoths still roamed the North American midwest and even sent an expedition to find one. (EDA: The Adventuress of Henrietta Street)

K9 once encountered some mammoths on an unnamed planet in another dimension, partially inhabited by ex-Tellac miners. They lived alongside other Earth animals from widely varying periods of evolutionary history. On this planet, he observed one fighting a sabre-toothed tiger. (AK9: K9 and the Missing Planet)

During the Second War in Heaven, Chris Cwej infiltrated the Hollywood Bowl during the filming of Mujun: The Ghost Kingdom.

(FP: The Book of the War)

In the damaged timeline that was briefly created by the failure of River Song to kill the Eleventh Doctor at Lake Silencio in 2011, an American news anchor told her audience that the Holy Roman Emperor Winston Churchill had a "personal mammoth", and that he returned to the Buckingham Senate atop it.
