There's no evidence that this ever occurred; it's just a fable. Almost all the recovered mammoths (about 50 so far) are partial remains, showing extensive signs of decay. They had probably fallen into bogs or rivers, been partially preserved under relatively anoxic conditions, and later frozen. Think "bog bodies", not "flash frozen".

There's no such plane. The black hole has the same effect on us as any large spinning mass thousands of light years away: negligible.

Since there's no such thing, it's difficult to draw. But we are currently a few tens of light years from the central plane of the galaxy, and moving further away.
