Educational Information
The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct relative of today’s elephants that lived late in the Pleistocene Epoch, or Ice Age. Many details of its anatomy are known thanks to discoveries of largely intact frozen carcasses in Siberia. The distinctive fur that gives this mammoth its name was composed of a long, hairy outer coat and a thick, dense undercoat. The animals also had a layer of fat under their skin to further insulate them from the cold. The tusks of woolly mammoths were much longer and more curved than those of modern elephants, reaching up to 16 feet (5 meters) in length. Cave paintings in Europe show that ancient people hunted these huge plant-eaters.
