A mammoth is a big furry animal that existed many years ago. you would have seen this animal if you have ever watched the movie Ice Age. there is a mammoth in that movie. it doesn't look exactly like an elephant but they have some similarities like their eyes and trunks and more. they are like cousins. mammoths eat grass because mammoths are herbivores. herbivores are animals that only eat plants. many mammoths died because in their area, they didn't have grass but most people thought they were hunted until scientists proved them wrong. most people were wondering if they should clone the mammoths. There's Mammoth DNA found in the glaciers. some people think that with technology should they consider cloning a new mammoth to bring the species back from extinction. some other people think that they should not bring the mammoths back from extinction because there wont be many places for them to live since humans are building new buildings and houses.
No, a mammoth is NOT a dinosaur.
Mammoths are mammals, very closely related to elephants. (Mammoths and elephants are members of a group called Elephantidae).
Mammoths first appeared a few million years ago and went extinct a few thousand years ago.
Dinosaurs on the other hand are reptiles (but not ''lizards'' or any modern day sprawling creature).
Many types of dinosaur went extinct about 65 million years ago. The only dinosaurs that survived this mass extinction and are alive today are birds.
Crocodiles are the closest living relatives to the dinosaurs but are not dinosaurs them selves.
Dinosaurs (+birds) and crocodiles are members of a group called Archosauria (but are on different branches of this group).
There is no such thing as a Mamouth - you mean MAMMOTH an extinct relative of the elephant. It's large size has caused it's name to be used to infer power or huge dimensions.
Unfortunately it appears to be frequently misspelt upon the internet... a similar spelling 'mammouth' is used in French however.
Most people who knew what a mammoth looked like (based on pictures or reconstructions) would say it looked like a hairy elephant. Use the links below to see and learn more.
It had hair, mammary glands, and a high metabolic rate.
They are classified as a member of the animal kingdom.
Yes, it was. It was a member of the elephant family, only it was much larger.

A mammoth tooth looks very much like the bottom of a sneaker. These huge molars are designed to quickly dispatch the large amounts of grass they consume.
Like an elephant I guess. Look on Ice Age :P
A wooly mammoth is a large, elephant- like mammal. It is covered with thick hair, and has large, curved tusks. Think along the lines of Manny from Ice Age.
The tusks (which are also teeth) look the same as those of an elephant, however the molars are more difficult to describe. This link shows a picture of mammoth molars. http://www.aaahs.org.uk/img/mammoth.jpg
It is named for its size and not for the elephant like mammoth.
The mammoth was like a hairy elephant. You can earn mammoth savings if you use coupons when you shop.
The mothman, which actually has been sighted by people, though not verified.
The sound of a wooly mammoth sounds like this: PHhhrrrrrrrrrr OR it sounds like this: just like an elephant :o)
the rocks look like sponge, and break like chalk. temperature is 80 to 130 Fahrenheit.
