Mammoths had too many adaptations to list. However, I can tell you about some of the adaptations they had to survive in cold climates.

1. Mammoths had a large mass, in most cases larger than modern elephants. The more mass an animal has, the less heat and energy it loses to keeping warm.

2. Small ears helped to conserve heat.

3. Thick fur and a layer of fat served as effective insulation to keep mammoths warm.

What adaptation did the saber-toothed tigers have to make successful while it lived?

The most important adaptation of the sabertooth tiger were its very long canines (fangs) which allowed it to kill large prey with thick skin such as mammoths, elephants, bison, etc. By feeding on the very largest animals, sabertooths avoided competition with other predators such as wolves, lions and jaguars which would usually avoid such enormous prey. Unfortunately that meant that when the big animals, such as mammoths, went extinct, so did the sabertooths.
