Today I went driving around the agricultural fields just to get out of the house for a bit and to see what nature and the local environment had to offer.
I went driving down a back road on the west side of my town and came upon this pair of prehistorical looking clump of uprooted eucalyptus trees. My very first thought was, "(From certain angles) It sorta looks like a frozen fossil of a woolly mammoth."
The oddly misshapen roots made it look like frozen fur that got knotted up and got caught in a Medusa like hair style. It looks like it was pulled out of the ground to fix the road it was on. I could tell it hasn't been laying there that long as there was still a lot of dirt hanging on the roots and the ground around was still soft and even.
So I took some pictures of it and other various objects and landscape around me, all the while wishing I had a better camera to take photos with. There were also some vultures flying above, another reason as to why I wish a better camera.
So does it look like a woolly mammoth to you ?

Pretty cool, thanks for sharing. I so miss outside the city world like when I was 11 and would wonder the woods. So neat to see things that are indeed a mystery and draw your own conclusions like you did here.

Maybe it's a woolly mammoth pretending to be an uprooted tree. As soon as you had driven off he went gallivanting around the fields again.

Sure, if I squint really hard, I can see the carcass of a woolly mammoth, Plethos...
I kinda get the feeling you were drinking either before you went driving or maybe as you were driving
Uhhh... my phone has a better camera than most cameras! (grinning at you)

Actually it does look like a Woolly Mammoth. You may want a better camera but that picture is rather stunning in clarity..
