Homonym: Mammoth (Colossal)
The mammoth was a large, hairy elephant-like creature that roamed the Earth during the Ice Age. These fascinating animals were known for their long, curved tusks and thick fur, which helped them survive in cold environments. Mammoths were herbivores, primarily feeding on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation found in their habitats.
Mammoths are often associated with the woolly mammoth, the most famous species, which lived in the northern parts of North America and Eurasia. They became extinct around 4,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and hunting by early humans. Today, scientists study mammoth remains to learn more about their lives and the ecosystems they inhabited.
