This is specifically a spoof of the creationist sites which use the finds of mammoths in the permafrost as 'proof' of a young earth/created earth/biblical flood/whatever--some of the earliest sites on the Internet in this genre. Some of the text on one of the links is simply from those mammoth sites with fish/shark/sea exchanged for elephant/mammoth/permafrost. Maybe there wasn't a lot of work involved.
It's a little hard to tell that the site is a parody of these "creationist" sites because the creationist blather sites spoof themselves more effectively than others parody them. But, like hearing the same joke over and over....
