mammoth's

Woolly giant's possession

Mammoth's is the possessive form of mammoth—the extinct elephant-like creature with long curved tusks and shaggy fur that roamed during the Ice Age.

The possessive typically describes parts or attributes: a mammoth's tusk, the mammoth's thick coat.

Mammoth also means enormous, so a mammoth's proportions might describe either the animal or something comparably huge.
