"Tusks like two hooks -

Very scary he looks

Wandering dreamy and slow.

Doing his best

To look for the grass

And dig it from under the snow.

A mammoth is warm

In blizzard or storm,

And all of the tundra's his haven.

In fact, as a rule,

He's covered with wool

As if it's an elephant unshaven!"

"A Saber-Tooth Tiger, asleep by the lake,

Fierce and ferocious when he's awake,

Like swords are his fangs,

And like rakes are his claws,

I don't feel like getting close

To his jaws!"
