There are many present day animals that are relatives of the woolly mammoth. The Elephant is the most recognizable, but, there are in fact others such as the Rat, leopard and Turkey are all relatives as well.

Yes, they r like distant cousins. the modern day elephant does not have the long tusks that the mammoth had, nor the hair. the hair kept him warm . the mammoth would be taller than todays elephant...

Woolly mammoths became extinct without leaving any descendants. However, modern elephants and woolly mammoths both belong to the family Elephantidae. In fact, woolly mammoths are so closely related to Asiatic elephants, that scientists are investigating the possibility of creating a hybrid between the two, using some of the DNA of a male mammoth and the egg cell of a female elephant.
