Based on geological records, mammoths were organisms
that went extinct during the Pleistocene Epoch. They were known to be the
ancestors of Indian elephants. They were said to have lived 2 million years ago
to 9,000 years ago, years after the dinosaurs went extinct.
Mammoths
are herbivorous animals with long and dense fur and underfur. They also have
long tusks that they use for mating, protecting, or for digging food in the
snow. The longest tusks found reached up to 13 feet or 4 meters long.
