This creature looked like an elephant, but it should not have existed until I found her trapped in a deep, snowy hole. I am Alice, a park ranger, and that morning started like any other until I heard a strange whimper coming from the mountainside. Following the sound, I stumbled upon an animal covered in thick fur with a tiny trunk like a baby elephant lost in the snow. I tried to pull her out, but she was stuck too deep. So I dug a ramp, inch by painful inch, until I could climb down and help her to safety. She did not run away. Instead, she followed me all the way back to my cabin. That is when I realized this was not just any wild animal. With the help of a biologist friend, we discovered her DNA was almost identical to a woolly mammoth. But before we could understand her, danger was closing in fast. Who were the people hunting her and what would they do next?
