The woolly mammoth lined up for the next event in the prehistoric Winter Olympics: the 400 meter speed skating competition.

This wasn't going to be easy, but he had been practicing. He picked up some momentum and started gliding around the ice, as the other mammoths and dinosaurs cheered for him.

Despite his bulk, the mammoth was in the lead. The other contestants, mostly moose and elk, had wiped out on the ice.

Coming down the home stretch, victory was in sight.

Suddenly, a group of ice snakes slithered onto the track, determined to stop the mammoth's victory party.

The mammoth was undeterred. He picked up speech and knocked over the snakes like bowling pins as he crossed the finish line.

In his gold-medal victory speech, the mammoth predicted a bright future for his species.
