and strength of the mammoth, Yukon was slowly forcing the mammoth to back up. Once he had gained some leverage, Yukon pushed the mammoth’s tusks to the side, causing the beast’s head to follow. Yukon sprang to his feet and moved in on the mammoth. When Yukon had reached the mammoth, the bull lowered its head then he used his long curved horns to hook under and around Yukon’s shoulders while simultaneously wrapping its powerful trunk around Yukon’s waist. Yukon responded by plunging his claws into the mammoth’s neck. The two monsters wrestled as each creature tried to the throw the other to the ground. Once more in this test of strength it was Yukon who proved the stronger of the two beasts. Gina watched as Yukon was able to force the left side of the mammoth’s legs to lift off the ground. The mammoth struggled to keep its balance, and as Gina watched the process of the mammoth slowly being forced to the ground, she was reminded of two huge sumo wrestlers she had seen compete in Japan. Just as the one sumo slowly tossed the other wrestler out of the ring, so did Yukon slowly force the mammoth to the ground. Yukon tipped the mammoth slightly more to its right and the beast finally lost its balance and fell down. Yukon immediately pounced on the beast. His fangs tore into the mammoth’s neck and his fist crashed repeatedly into its skull. The mammoth swung his head toward Yukon and his tusks struck Yukon and knocked the Yeti onto his side. The mammoth stumbled to his feet as blood gushed from his neck.
    Yukon had just stood when the mammoth charged him again. Yukon was now prepared for the mammoth’s speed and the Yeti stepped to the left just before the mammoth’s tusks reached him. As the mammoth was passing by Yukon, the Yeti dug his claws into the side of the beast’s head and neck. Yukon held on for a few seconds as the mammoth pulled him across the snow-covered terrain. After several seconds, the mammoth’s pace began to slow down and finally the beast fell to its knees beneath the fury of Yukon’s assault. Yukon pushed the mammoth onto its side and then he used his fangs to tear out what remained of the mammoth’s neck. Blood sprayed across Yukon’s face and chest giving his white coat a red hue. Gina watched as Yukon then began to devour the dead mammoth.
    The young anthropologist shook her head in awe at the battle that she had just witnessed. The mammoth weighed several tons, and not only was Yukon able to overpower it, he was able to maneuver around the creature with ease. The Yeti was amazing and deadly at the same time. Seeing the monster in action had only reaffirmed Gina’s decision not to call for help. She was sure that any attempt to rescue her would only result in more members of her team dying.
    Yukon fed off the dead mammoth for roughly a half an hour before tearing off a large chuck of meat and then heading back to the cave where he had left Gina. Yukon entered the cave and tossed the chunk of bloody mammoth meat at Gina’s feet. Gina understood that Yukon wanted her to eat. She was not nearly hungry enough to eat the raw mammoth but as Yukon growled and gestured in the direction of the meat Gina remembered how Jun-Tuk had told her that the women who appeased the Yeti were those who came back alive. Gina scooped up a piece of raw mammoth, closed her eyes and then tossed it into her mouth. She nearly gagged but she finally managed to force herself to swallow a piece of the mammoth. She then nodded to Yukon in appreciation of his efforts. The Yeti snarled back at her then he picked her up and walked back out into the valley.

    Rodgers finally had the team ready to embark on the rescue mission. There were a dozen snowmobiles heading into the valley. Each snow mobile would carry two riders, meaning that more than half of the people who comprised the initial expedition would be part of the rescue team. Most of team consisted of graduate students who had taken basic first
