MAMMOTH DESCRIPTION Ø Size : 9– 14 feet (3. 5 meters) at the shoulder. Ø Weight : 6– 10 tons. Ø Hair : A fur coat in 2 layers, good for cold weather. Ø Anatomy : Very similar to the modern elephant. Ø Life Span : Between 60 and 80 years.
MAMMOTH DESCRIPTION Ø Teeth : Special teeth with ridges, grew 5 or 6 sets in their life.
MAMMOTH DESCRIPTION Tusks : Tusks are teeth that extend from the mammoth's mouth. The tusks help researchers identify the age of the animal at the time of death. Ø

NATURAL HABITAT OF MAMMOTH The discovery of Lupe provides evidence that mammoths lived in San Jose long ago. Mammoth fossils have been found throughout the Bay Area and throughout North America. There are two kinds of mammoths: 1. Columbian mammoths, are found in the United States and Mexico. 2. Woolly mammoths are found in Canada.

WHEN DID MAMMOTH LIVE They lived during the Pleistocene epoch from 1. 6 million years ago to around 3, 500 years ago. There have been more than 500 different kinds of elephants on the Earth at different times over the last 55 million years. They live in tropical climates, but other species, living long ago, were more adapted to colder climates.

DIET OF MAMMOTH Ø Mammoths where herbivores. Ø They ate leaves, bushes, willow, and fir. Ø They probably ate about 700 pounds of grass and leaves each day. Ø These features also allowed mammoths to live an expansive life because of the availability of grasses and trees.

EXTINCTION OF MAMMOTH Ø The precise reason why both species became extinct is unknown. Scientists have attributed it to climate change and over-hunting. Ø In 2007 in Siberia, a pair of mummified baby mammoths were found. During the last Ice Age, mammoths died and were trapped in ice which preserved them.
EXTINCTION OF MAMMOTH The bodies were so well preserved that CT scans found the mammoths died from choking on mud 40, 000 years ago.
