    The mammoth, an animal that was distributed around the world during the Stone Age, is now extinct. However, paleontologists have been able to excavate well-preserved mammoth carcasses in Siberia and other places.

    The shape of the mammoth is similar to that of a modern elephant, but its weight is equivalent to that of a modern blue whale according to ancient records. The skull is pointed. The most distinctive thing about the mammoth, that is, what makes it different from modern elephants is:

    It is covered with hair, and the length of the hair can even hang down to the ground; The elephant's body protrudes into a peak on the neck, the ears are relatively small, and a layer of yellowish-brown unkempt hair mixed with long black hair covers the entire body of the mammoth, and even the ears have hair; The shape of the tusks is also peculiar, with the tips of the two tusks facing each other in a spiral shape.

    The mammoth is the only elephant species that can survive in the Arctic climate, and it all depends on its long hair. Mammoths have survived in Siberia for quite some time. During the Ice Age, there were mammoths in areas such as England, France and North America, but as the climate warmed in Britain and France, mammoths also migrated north with the receding ice.

    The mammoths in these areas can be up to 4 meters tall and are unusually heavy, so they sink into the icy mud, and when the soil freezes, the elephant is frozen in it.

    There were several ice ages on Earth around 1.5 million years ago. The so-called ice age is a period when the temperature of the earth drops rapidly, and the vast area of the earth's high latitudes is covered with ice throughout the year.

    If you want to take the animals that survived the Ice Age as a representative, you can take the mammoth as an example. Mammoths were animals that appeared in the middle of the Alluvial epoch, about 370,000 years ago, but became extinct 10,000 years ago.

    It has long brown hair all over its body and large, curved teeth. Its long fur and thick subcutaneous fat protect its body from the cold, while its long teeth help it dig up snow and ice-covered grass.

    Mammoth fossils are found in Europe, Siberia, North America, and Hokkaido. Fossils of bones, skin, flesh, and hair have been excavated from the permafrost of Siberia, completely preserved in their pre-frozen shape.

    Frozen mammoths like this have been found to have as many as 10,000 of them preserved.

    The skeletons of mammoths have been known to Europe since at least the fifteenth century, but for hundreds of years they have been regarded as the bones of giants. In these early stages, our knowledge of these extinct elephants begins to take shape. We have many well-preserved skeletons, and frozen corpses can often be found in the permafrost of northern Siberia and Alaska, which have been preserved in nature's refrigerators for tens of thousands of years.

    Our ancestors also often depicted and carved these animals, giving us an authentic composition of the mammoth's appearance.

    Mammoths are covered with long black hairs all over their bodies, especially longer hairs on their backs. Mammoths are fast and have a fierce temperament. Unlike the average elephant, which is slow and docile, experts believe that the mammoth is likely to be the offspring of an elephant that has been extinct in Thailand for many years.

    Mammoths are the largest mammals ever found on land, and their heyday was from the last ice age to 100,000 years ago, and they moved throughout the Northern Hemisphere. These behemoths weigh about 6 to 8 tons. Modern elephants, whether African or Indian, are "cousins" of mammoths.

    Many scientists believe that overkilling, disease, or natural disasters were the cause of the mammoth's extinction.
