The Woolly Mammoth, an iconic prehistoric species, evolved from earlier mammoth ancestors, adapting to cold environments during the Pleistocene epoch. Over time, they developed long, curved tusks, a thick coat of fur, and a layer of fat to insulate against harsh Arctic climates. As the climate warmed and human hunting intensified, they faced extinction approximately 4,000 years ago. Fossil evidence shows they varied in size and morphology, reflecting their adaptation to different environments across their range.
