Large extinct animal with huge curving tusks (7)

I believe the answer is:

mammoth

(Other definitions for mammoth that I've seen before include "Enormous" , "Prehistoric woolly elephant" , "Brobdingnagian" , "Large, woolly ice-age beast" , "Extinct hairy elephant" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
