Woolly Mammoth
These terrifying extinct animals roamed around Asia during the Pleistocene, around 300,000 years up to 10,000 years ago. They existed during the Ice Age, and were fully adapted to the freezing temperatures during this time period. They had 15 foot long tusks, and mainly grazed on plants for food. They’re mostly similar to today’s elephants, and were about 13 feet tall. They probably also had the same level of aggression as modern day elephants – which should not be trifled with. They had two layers of fur to keep warm in the cold temperatures, and their outer layer of fur could be up to 20-inches long. Scientists discovered they had a lump on their back, which was most probably fat stores to help them survive through the coldest winter months (Wikipedia).
