Because you might

be the only two mammoths left on earth.

He has a point!

My brothers and I

would be delighted to come with you,

Maybe we'll have ourselves

a little snack before we hit the road

Want a piece of us? lets go!

Bonsai, !

- Ow!

You know the best part, ?

Were carrying diseases!

Ok! Thanks to Sid,

we're now travelling together,

and like it or not,

we're going to be one big happy family!

Ill be the daddy,

Ellie will be the mommy,

And Diego will be the uncle

who eats the kids who get on my nerves!

Now lets move, before the

ground falls out from under our feet!

I thought

fat guys are suppose to be jolly,

Im not fat!

Its this fur that makes me look big!

Its poofie!

Ok, he's fat,

Folks! Escape from the flood is a,

perfect time

to shed those unsightly pounds,

with fast Tony's, disaster diet!

You, ma'm!

You look like a big fat hairy beast!

How'd you

like to lose a tonne or two of that?

Would I ever!!,

Dont listen to him, Vera!

Youre already thin as a twig,

I also have the perfect

cure for your eyesight, my blind friend!

Ohh, We'll never make it at this pace!

Ellie, it's ok!

You can lose the camouflage!

Youre safe!

Ok, safe?

Playing dead, !

Manny, Why don't you do that?

Because, Im a mammoth!

But you do it for treats, right?

Is he gone?

Youre safe! Get up,

Man!, if you weren't here,

that hawk would have swooped down,

and snatched me up for dinner!

Thats how Cousin Wilson went!

Boy, I really feel for you, I do!

I can't

even imagine what it would be like,

to be the last one of your species!

Im not the last one!

Oh, You brave, brave soul,

that's right, don't give up hope,

Ellie?

Look at our footprints,

they're the same shape

Well, how

do I know those arent your footprints?

Well, then,

look at our shadows. we match!

Youre right! Were the same!

You must be part possum!

You wish!

Diego, there are whole continents

moving faster than you, lets go!

We got to catch up with the others!

Hey! Knock it off!!

Oh cry me a river,

blubber tooth tiger. Have some fun!

Cant you see the ice is thin

enough. without you two wearing it down?

Oh, Diego. The ice may be

thin, but its strong enough to hold,

a ten ton mammoth and a nine ton possum!

Ellie, get up!

If you play dead, you'll be dead!
