What is the characteristics of the wooly mammoth?

Woolly mammoths were about as tall as a modern-day Asian elephant. Bulls could weigh as much as 8 tons and stood somewhere between approximately 9 feet tall and 13 feet tall. Woolly mammoths had an outer layer of shaggy hair and an underlayer of wool to keep them warm in the cold climates that they inhabited. They had long, curved tusks that could grow to be up to 16 feet long. Mammoths also had a large hump on their back that scientists believe may have been used to store fat. Scientists speculate that mammoths used their tusks to clear away snow in effort to find food and travel more easily. Scientists have also found evidence that the mammoths would rest their trunk on one of their tusks.
