Animals alive today are but a fraction of all that have been before our time. We are continually discovering species of animals long since vanished form the fact of the earth. The mammoth is notable the among fossilized remains that have been found frozen in the ice of northern Siberia. In France this drawing of a mammoth was found, evidently sketched by a man living in that time.

"Mammoth is a species of extinct elephant, the fossil remains of which are found in European, Asiatic and North American formations. Geologically speaking, the mammoth or Elephas primigenius, dates from the post-pliocene period, its remains having been frequently found associated with human remains, and its figure carved on bone. It had large curved tusks; was covered with fur and shaggy hair; and was twice as large as the modern elephant. Bones and tusks have been found in great abundance in Siberia, and America. In the St. Petersburg Imperial Museum is the perfect preserved carcass of a mammoth found in the frozen ice in Siberia in 1903."—(Charles Leonard-Stuart, 1911)
