There were several species of mammoth, and each one was a different size. One of the smallest mammoths, the Pygmy Mammoth, was only about 4.5 to 7 ft tall. The largest mammoth and the second largest known terrestrial mammal was the Songhua River mammoth, which stood 17 ft tall, 30 ft long, and weighed 19 tons. The woolly mammoth was medium sized, and was 9 to 12 ft tall, about the same height as an Asiatic elephant, although they weighed 8 tons (3 tons more than the Asiatic elephant).

Is a mammoth bigger than a dinosaur?
Mammoths, specifically the woolly mammoth, were similar in size to modern elephants, typically reaching heights of about 10 to 12 feet at the shoulder. In contrast, many dinosaurs varied significantly in size, with some, like the Argentinosaurus, reaching lengths of over 100 feet and towering much higher than a mammoth. Therefore, while some dinosaurs were smaller than mammoths, many were indeed much larger. Overall, dinosaurs had a wider range of sizes, with many surpassing the size of mammoths.
What are mammoths similar to today giraffes or elephants?
Mammoths are more similar to today's elephants than giraffes. Both mammoths and elephants belong to the family Elephantidae and share various physical and behavioral traits, such as large size, social structures, and herbivorous diets. In contrast, giraffes are part of a different family, Giraffidae, and have distinct adaptations for browsing treetops. Therefore, in terms of evolutionary lineage and characteristics, mammoths are closely related to elephants.
