Like elephants today, the Woolly Mammoth were social animals, and the females lived in related groups or herds.

Until the male mammoth reached the age of three to four years of age, he also lived with this group of closely related females. At that age, he started exploring his world and left the group behind. For two to three years after he left the female herd, he may have lived with a nomadic band of other male like age mammoths. This was called a bachelor herd.

Males were not usually related to each other in The Bachelor herd, and came and went as they chose. As the males reached the age of 20, they no longer associated with herds of either sex unless it was time to breed.
