"Mammoth"

The mammoth was a large, elephant-like mammal that roamed Earth during the Ice Age, around 400,000 to 4,000 years ago. It had long, curved tusks and a thick coat of fur to survive cold climates. Mammoths were herbivores, feeding on grasses and shrubs. They played a significant role in their ecosystems, much like elephants today. Most species of mammoths went extinct, likely due to climate change and overhunting by humans. Today, their preserved remains, such as fossils and frozen carcasses, provide valuable insights into prehistoric life and climate history.
