The Woolly Mammoth was a large, hairy elephant-like creature that roamed the cold tundras of the northern hemisphere during the last Ice Age. These fascinating animals were well-adapted to their frigid environment, sporting long, curved tusks and a thick coat of fur to keep warm. They primarily fed on grasses, shrubs, and other vegetation, using their tusks to dig through snow to find food. Woolly Mammoths lived in herds and were social animals, much like modern-day elephants. They became extinct around 4,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and hunting by early humans. Today, scientists study their remains to learn more about their lives and the ecosystems they inhabited.
