Columbian Mammoth. This thing was around in the Pleistocene, ~1 million years ago.

I've never found any part of a mammoth, but I fell in love with prehistoric mammals more than dinosaurs. Why? Well, the reason we have fruits with huge seeds today is only because of these guys. In fact, now that no organisms besides us can really disperse huge seeds makes us really closely in tune with these big herbivores. Think, peaches, dates, avacado...all were the foods of these big creatures!
