Siberian Mammoth

The Siberian mammoth, or woolly mammoth, was a large, elephant-like creature that roamed the cold regions of the Northern Hemisphere during the Ice Age. They were covered in long, shaggy hair and had long, curved tusks, which they used for digging through snow to find food. Mammoths lived in herds and mainly fed on grasses and shrubs. They went extinct around 4,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and hunting by prehistoric humans. Fossils and preserved specimens have been found in Siberia, providing valuable insights into their biology and environment.
