:: Active Open & Moderated Forum for
THE (Fossilized) WOOLLY MAMMOTH;

common name for several extinct species of the elephant family
(Mammuthus Primigenius)::


Mammoths had long, curved tusks that reached a length of about 3 m
(about 10.5 ft), and a prominent hump on the back.

Those that lived in cold climates had a shaggy covering of long, thick
hair.

Larger than today's Indian elephant, their tusks could weigh up to 300
pounds each and measure over 16 feet in length. known by the Netsuke
craftmanship of Mammoth Ivory.

The oldest Mammoth found to date lived 250,000 years ago.

These animals moved northward as the glaciers of the Ice Age receded.

Mammoths had died out toward the end of the Pleistocene Epoch, about
11,000 years ago, although scientists have found the remains of dwarf
Mammoths that survived until around 3,700 years ago on Wrangel Island
in the Arctic Ocean.

Scientists first extracted the genetic material (DNA) from a mammoth
remains in 1978.
