I wonder if you mean Mammoths? I hope you did, because I'm going to answer your question like you did!

Mammoths are prehistoric creatures that lived during the last Ice Age in Eurasia and North America. Along with most of the large animals of the Americas, the Mammoth went extinct because of the retreat of the Ice Age.

Our ancestors, the Homo-Erectus, Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnens hunted and ate the Mammoth, and actually used their bones to create their houses. There is great debate as to whether our ancestors drove the Mammoths extinct through hunting, most likely it was a contributing factor.

Mammoths were humongous! They weighed anywhere from 6-12 tons, and had exceptionally large tusks. The Mammoths were the last species of their genus, effectivley ending the genus when they went extinct.

The Mammoths are from another world, they lived when man was begginning to evolve into our modern day selves. They shaped much of our evolution as well, providing us with food and shelter.
