Woolly mammoth is the common name for an extinct elephant of the mammoth genus, Mammuthus primigenius,characterized by long, strongly curved tusks, a dense coat of hair, and hind legs much shorter than the forelegs, giving a slope to the back. It is also known as the tundra mammoth. Fossils of the woolly mammoth trace from about 250,000 years ago to 4,000 years ago. This animal is known from bones and frozen carcasses from northern North America and northern Eurasia, with the best preserved specimens in Siberia.

The woolly mammoth has captured the human imagination since the first fossils were encountered, leading to speculation about giant underground mole-like animals, biblical behemoths, and animals whose demise was caused by the great deluge. Today, they remain a fascinating subject matter, particularly given that their existence coincided with that of humans. The cause of theirextinction, and the role of human hunters in this extinction, remains hotly debated.And now the answer of your question is that the wooly mammoth was found in Berezovka river in about 19000 years ago.
