I read about them in a book when I was about 5 years old.
Scientists know about them because of bones and frozen carcasses that have been found. The frozen carcasses are from the tundra in Alaska or Russia, and the bones can come from anywhere where woolly mammoths lived in Russia, northern Europe, and Alaska.

How did mammoths care for their young?
Mother mammoths fed their babies with milk, just like elephants. After a few months, the baby mammoth started to eat plant material, but it wasn't until the mammoth was two or three years old that it stopped nursing. The baby mammoths stayed close to their moms until they were teenagers. The moms protected them from danger and from other animals. If a mammoth's mom died, one of the other mammoths in the group would adopt the young mammoth. How do we know? Scientists have observed this behavior in elephants, a close relative of the mammoths. They also have looked at the growth rings in tusks of baby mammoths. By looking at the chemicals in each ring, they can tell when the baby mammoth switched from a milk diet to a plant diet.

Why do you think scientists would choose to use the egg of an elephant to try to grow a woolly mammoth?
Elephants are mammals, they do not lay eggs. If elephants are descendants of the woolly mammoth, or they share the same genetic ancestor, scientists may consider playing with the DNA in an elephant egg cell to bring out the traits of the woolly mammoth.
