Subject: Possible ODST Vehicle

Joseph Staten, when jokingly asked about "traveling around in elephants", stated something along the lines of "You don't know how close you really are.". Now, this could lead people to believe a few things: the return of the elephant, a new vehicle, or possibly some crazy circus act. I have thought long and hard about this, what is really close to the elephant? Woolly Mammoth.

Woolly Mammoth Wikipedia

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), also called the tundra mammoth, is an extinct species of mammoth. This animal is known from bones and frozen carcasses from northern North America and northern Eurasia with the best preserved carcasses in Siberia.

Now, think about this, the year is 2552, we are all aware that when the people going into the Spartan program were taken, a clone was left in their place. So, by this little fact we know that cloning exists in the future. My theory is that Woolly Mammoths were cloned and now rule the streets in New Mombasa, and possibly are even tame enough for people, The Rookie, to ride. Back in the days of the Ice Age, man was very close with the Mammoth, often following herds for days, waiting for the right time to take one down and feast upon it. Perhaps in the future, Man and Mammoth have gotten past their differences in the past, and have started working together in great times of need, such as an alien invasion.

In conclusion, I believe the Mammoth will definitely be a pivotal resource in Halo 3: ODST. I want to know what you guys think about this, and maybe some other theories that you guys have been working on. I'm almost 100% positive that the Woolly Mammoth will be the "vehicle" Joseph Staten was talking about considering how close it actually is to the Elephant.

Here is a mock-up of what I believe to be the new mode of transportation: Buck on a Mammoth

Other Theories: Raptors

EDIT: I have found a possible hole in my theory. Upon further research, I have found that Mammoths are more closely related to Asian Elephants. This poses the question: "What is an Asian Elephant doing in Africa?". I will further investigate this conundrum and and post my findings.

EDIT: According to this Australian Zoo site they have an Asian Elephant exhibit, which leads me to believe that Asian Elephants can thrive in almost any continent. In other words: hole successfully filled.

Hey, two people could mount the wolly mammoth. And you can spear the enemies with energy tusks.

Gaming at it's finest.

True. Now that I think about it having the -blam!- beat out of you with a pool ball in a tube sock by your degenerate pimp is the better choice.

What the hell kind of crappy joke thread is this, anyways? All the signs point to raptors, I mean, seriously, are you blind?

You know, I'm starting to figure out why that was supposed to be a bad idea.

I have a mock-up of what I believe this will look like. Buck on a Mammoth As you can see, compared to Buck, these Woolly Mammoths are quite large in size.

That's a great theory, but I will not talk down to you because I believe it is false, in fact I will include your theory in my OP.
