Description
Mammoths were almost like people—only big and furry.
Two hundred years ago, Russians found these amazing creatures, declared them the property of the empire, saved them from extinction, and then the whole country—whatever happened—did its best to preserve them. Chukotka herders and Russian zoologists valued their lives higher than their own. The mammoth is a symbol of Russia and of its national character.
At the very edge of our land—where it is cold, hungry, dark, and sometimes even scary—mammoths build roads, raise houses, transport cargo, and rescue those in trouble.
The fates of the mammoth calf Katya and the boy Umka were decided long before they were born. But everything went wrong, and now the director of the “Star of Chukotka” nursery has two problems—where to place the brilliant four-legged one, and how to rein in his talented son.
Times are changing, and the future of the “working horses of the far North” is in question. Everyone must make a difficult choice. Even a mammoth.
