Ah! Thank you. Delighted to learn that mammowhopperus Woolinsky
didn't pass
on for the same reasons as the épeé-toothed tiger.

The last ice age began with skinny monkeys, mammoths, mastodons,
smilodons (aka sabretooth), dire wolves, and the giant cave bear.

The last ice age ended with obese humans.

The last ice age hasnt ended yet, this is just an interglacial
period.

It has ended (if indeed it ever started) for the mammowhopperus Woolinsky,
smilodons (aka sabretooth) and the épeé-toothed tiger. Sad. Sniff.

Don't forget the Cave Bears (Hey, they figured thay had it knocked -
who's going to dispute the supremecat of a 1-ton bear with swordlike
slaws the size of, well, swords.) Imagine their surprise when they
found that the Hairless Feeble Tasty Apes went in for all that High
Tech Rock & Pointed Stick stuff. And the Giant Beaver, as well. They
seem to have had a bad day.

Hmmm, is being attacked by a Giant Beaver a good thing or a bad
thing??
