Description
Winter is around the corner, and I wanted to make some art to get me in the mood. So for the latest in my paleoart series, I have Mammoths heralding the coming of the cold season. The first dusting of snow has fallen and a rabbit has ventured out to see what all the commotion is about.
Most animals have a collective noun that names a group of them. For instance, a group of crows is called a murder, a group of chickens is called a brood, cats...a clowder, geese...a gaggle, etc.. However, there doesn't appear to be a collective noun for mammoths. I guess being extinct deprives them of that. Well, I've decided that I like the word "storm" for a group of Mammoths, at least for this particular artwork.

Another fantastic gold medal work of art Daniel. I can visualize early Paleo hunters following these Mammoths waiting for that perfect time to strike. I love your Paleo art............L/V
