Written For: Challenge 317 – Mammoth at

Spoilers: Nada.
Summary: Owen is called in by the police to investigate some mysterious remains.
Disclaimer: I don’t own Torchwood, or the characters.
Cardiff's police had got into the habit of calling Torchwood in for anything out of the ordinary; the mysterious organisation were experts when it came to weirdness. So, when strange bones were discovered while digging foundations for a new office block, their medical expert was asked for his opinion.
Dr Harper studied the bones carefully.
“Well, they’re not human.”
The police constable rolled his eyes.
“We guessed that much.”
Harper smirked.
“Judging by size and shape, I’d say early elephant. Maybe even Mammoth. Better call the Natural History Museum. They love old bones. Not our jurisdiction. Have a nice day.”
The End

Yep, there were mammoths at least in Southern England. I reckion Cardiff is far enough south that it's not out of the question, lol!
Thank you.
