Did the ancients know that there were mammoths in the world, and did there really exist mammoths in

Once upon a time, there were only two mammoths left in the world, and they fell in love with each other deeply in order to revive their family......

This is the plot that takes place in the cartoon "Ice Age". But the truth of reality is very cruel: in fact, the mammoth, a huge and cute animal, completely disappeared from the planet in about 10,000 years ...... now

Maybe in a few decades, we'll see mammoths again. At the end of September this year, two mammoths, known as the "Ninth Wonder of the World", traveled thousands of miles from the snow-capped Republic of Sakha to Guangzhou for a touring exhibition.

The reporter learned from relevant experts that although the two mammoths have been frozen in the frozen ground for tens of thousands of years, they have all their fur and flesh. They contain not only the real reason for the extinction of mammoths, but also the possibility of their resurrection - scientists have extracted still active DNA from one of them, and perhaps in another 50 years, we will be able to see a living mammoth again!

Focus: Big Calorie and Small Europe.

Daka's name is Yuka Kiel, a "mature man" in his 40s. It is named after the village where it was found.

Li Jianjun, a paleontologist at the Beijing Museum of Natural History, told reporters that the Daka was originally buried deep in the permafrost, but due to the melting of the glacier, in August 2002, its huge elephant tusks pierced through the ice and stood tall in the ice field, and was discovered by a young man living there.

The excavation caused a huge sensation, and experts speculated that it was a mammoth that lived 14,000 years ago, but it was so full of flesh and blood that it was a miracle of nature.

Xiao Ou's name is Omiya Kong, a "little girl" who is only 1 year old. However, it is the predecessor of the 40-year-old kcal - because it lived 40,000 years ago.

Like the "Big Car", the name "Little Europe" is named after the area where it was found - Omega, a plateau 740 meters above sea level near the Arctic Circle of the Republic of Sakha, which is inhabited by only 800 people.

It is also a gold-rich region. In 2004, a gold digging team was working here, digging and digging, and they suddenly dug up a pool of pus, which emitted a foul smell, and the gold diggers suspected that it was the remains of ancient terrorists, so they reported it to the relevant departments and experts. Scientists who heard the news unearthed a small frozen mammoth here.

Scientists later unearthed some reddish-brown hairs belonging to mammoths not far from Xiao Ou's body, which are sure to belong to Xiao Ou. They speculated that Xiao Ou's hair and ** were detached, indicating that it had been soaked in water for a period of time, and it was possible that it was drowned. Later, scientists scanned and found some algae plants in Xiao Ou's stomach, which further confirmed this hypothesis.

It was supposed to be the end of autumn, and Xiao Ou was hungry to find food, and due to exhaustion, he fell into a swamp and was eventually swallowed up by the swamp. ”

You know, the ancients, that is, in primitive times, saw mammoths.

Yes! Their skeletons can be found in many museums around the world, and complete mammoth carcasses have been excavated in the permafrost of Siberia, with their fur intact.

Mammoth (scientific name mammuthus) is an extinct genus of elephants. Vertebrates, mammals, proboscis order. The most famous species is the true mammoth, i.e., the mammoth.

Exists during the Ice Age. The ancient Russian word mammut means something lurking underground, as all mammoths were found dead and half-buried in the earth.

Mammoth lived about 11,000 years ago, originated from Africa, distributed in Europe, Asia, and the northern part of North America in the early Pleistocene, and can adapt to grasslands, forests, tundra and snow fields, and a few species such as the true mammoth are covered with long hair, have a thick layer of fat to isolate the cold, and feed on grasses and beans in summer, and feed on shrubs and bark in winter, and live mainly in groups. The last group of mammoths became extinct around 1670 BC.

Scientific name in Chinese. Mammoth Latin scientific name.

mammuthus

Also known as mammoths.

Exist. The finch is collapsing.

Mammoths live in the Quaternary glacial period in the Northern Hemisphere, 3 million to 10,000 years ago, generally 5 meters tall, weigh about 10 tons, live on grass and shrub leaves, because of the long hair, can resist the cold, has been living in the grasslands and hills of the alpine zone, the human beings at that time evolved at the same time as it, and began to live in peace, but evolved to the new human stage, but also use fire attack, collective coordination for the Sakura Ming War, hunting and killing herds of animals and large animals, mammoths are the main objects they hunt;

The mammoth is a large mammal that lived in the cold era, very similar to the current elephant, except that the mammoth's tusks are long and curved upward, the head is very high, from the side, its back is the highest point of the body, from the back it descends very steeply, there is a clear round depression at the neck, the epidermis is covered with long hair, and its image is like a hunchbacked old man.

The largest mammoth in the world is the steppe mammoth.

Weighing up to twelve tons, it could be said to be a behemoth at the time, mammoths had long fur on their bodies to withstand the cold of the northern regions. Millions of years ago, mammoths were monsters, weighing three times larger than Asian elephants, with fat that could reach a thickness of several centimeters, and had few enemies other than humans.

Mammoths can reach meters or more in height, with teeth in length, and unlike Asian elephants, mammoths have larger heads and short necks, and look like a hunchbacked man from the side. The mammoth's back, which is the highest part of its entire body, has a large depression in the neck.

The origin of the mammoth

Mammoths are very magical existences, if there are no fossils, it is impossible for humans to believe that there will be such a huge elephant, the origin of the steppe mammoth should be a trace in North China of our country. According to research, the occurrence time of the mammoth in North China can be traced back to 1.36 million years ago, which means that the steppe mammoth in North China is earlier than the steppe mammoth in Siberia.

This problem found in China is mainly determined by the thickness of the excavated fossil burials. According to the geological progress, the depth of fossils found in China is much deeper than that found in other regions, and the sedimentary material will accumulate more and more with age, according to the measurement, this fossil is 1.36 million years ago.

The extinction of mammoths has a history of tens of thousands of years, and the extinction of mammoths is mainly affected by the environment, and some mammoths adapt to the environment and evolve into other species. Mammoths that did not evolve successfully starved to death or died of heat and eventually disappeared from the earth, and the disappearance of mammoths also allowed other animals to rise.

Mammuthus primigenius (scientific name: Mammuthus primigenius) is an animal of the genus Mammoth in the family Elephantidae.

Mammoths are tall and strong, with thick legs, four-toed feet, and large heads; The body is covered with golden, reddish-brown and grayish-brown fine long hair, and the skin is very thick, with an extremely thick fat layer, up to 9 cm thick. It feeds on grasses and legumes in summer and shrubs and tree bark in winter, and has always lived in the grasslands and hills of the alpine zone. It lived widely in northern Eurasia and lived from 10,000 BC.

Asian elephant (Latin scientific name: elephas maximus linnaeus, also known as Indian elephant, elephant, old elephant).

It is a species of elephant and belongs to the family Proboscis Elephantidae. Its eyes are small and the ears are large, and the ears can cover the sides of the neck with the ears back; The limbs are thick and strong, with 5 toes on the forelimbs and 4 toes on the hind limbs; tail short and thin, thick and wrinkled skin, sparsely short hairs all over the body; The top of the head is the highest point, with a body length of 5 6 meters, a height of meters, and a weight of 3 5 tons, which is the largest land animal in Asia.

China's Asian elephant is only distributed in the southern border areas of Yunnan Province adjacent to Myanmar and Laos, and is a scarce number of national first-class protected animals.

Yes. Mammoths.

Once an important hunting object for Stone Age humans, it is common to see images of it painted by early humans on the walls of many cave sites in Europe, and this animal lived until 3,700 years ago, in Alaska.

and in the frozen soil and ice of Siberia, frozen carcasses of this animal, including intact individuals with flesh and skin, have been found on more than one occasion.

At that time, humans evolved at the same time as it, and at first they were able to live in peace, but when they evolved to the stage of newcomers, they would also use fire attacks, collective and coordinated operations, and hunted herds of animals and large animals, and mammoths were their main targets.
