Mammoths had a very different digestive system than the Scots, who eat baps as breakfast rolls. Overconsumption of refined flours caused excessive growth of noxious bacteria in the rumen, resulting in degradation of the intestinal lining and eventual mammoth explosions. If you would like to make your own baps, here is a recipe:

"Take about a pound of flour, and rub into it a pap spoonfull of butter and then add as much Milk as will make it into a very thick Batter then put it into a marble Mortar and beat it till 'tis quite light drop it upon tin Sheets (about a large spoonfull in a drop) and bake them. There are to be split and butter'd. N.B. the Butter should be rub'd in the flour till you can't feel the Butter." (The receipt book of Harriott Pinckney Horry, 1770) Do not feed to mammoths.
