Ogg, it wasn't Bobb's fault! Let him stay!

Esmeralda: I don't know, but it could start an avalanche!

Everyone off the slopes!

Yes, adult boars would be much bigger, smellier too, than that one! The parents would be very worried about their babies if they went missing.(notices a bunch of boars on the nearby scarp) In fact...

Theme Song

(Cro...Cro...)

Cro was a smart boy,

Had a lot on the ball

But the family that took him in

Was total Neanderthal

(Oh...Oh...)

Cro - just a memory

Of his mammoth friend named Phil

Who was found by the scientist Dr. C

And Mike in the Arctic Chill

(Oh...)

Phil fell into a glacier

It was like a big deep-freeze

But he was brought back to life to his surprise

In the 20th Century

So listen as Phil takes us back

To wonders of long ago

And we've a tale of Woollyville

And an Ice age boy named

(Cro...Cro... Cro!)

Mammoth Oath

A mammoth is wise, a mammoth is smart.

We care about science as we care about art.
