Two large mammoths are standing next to one another (mirrored). The mammoth on the right has seven small cavemen on top of it with spears and the other mammoth is sitting down.
Mammoths were large, but not large enough to have humans look like fleas when standing on the mammoth. The scale of the two makes this unusual.
Why are the humans so small? Why are the mammoths so large?
It didn't really bother me until they discovered fire.

The mammoth's fur is infested by small cavemen, almost as if it were a lice infection. Compared to normal sized humans which might kill the mammoth, the small cavepeople are more of a nuisance. However, If the small humans were to discover fire, this would cause burning on the mammoth's skin, which would be painful. This is what its lamenting about in the caption.
