| Most wooly mammoths' tusks were the size
of a small canoe (9 ft). Big wooly mammoths' tusks were about 15 feet long!
The tusks were useful for digging through snow to get grass and tundra plants. |
| The mammoth trunks were shorter than the modern elephants. Mammoth trunk tips were in two, useful for collecting plants food.The modern elephants, in contrast, prefer a tree leaf diet, and their trunk tips are of unequal size. |
| The mammoth was covered with long, thick, brown hair. They had the big long thick hair too keep them warm in the icey cold weather. |
