Large extinct elephant of the Pleistocene epoch (7)

I believe the answer is:

mammoth

(Other definitions for mammoth that I've seen before include "Prehistoric beast like hairy elephant" , "Extinct hairy elephant" , "Extinct woolly creature" , "Extinct type of elephant" , "Gigantic - extinct animal" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
