Before the woolly mammoth, its ancestors included the early proboscideans, such as the straight-tusked elephant and the mastodon. These species evolved over millions of years, adapting to various environments and climates. The woolly mammoth specifically emerged during the Pleistocene epoch, roughly 400,000 years ago, as a response to colder conditions in the Northern Hemisphere. Its adaptations, such as thick fur and a layer of fat, helped it survive the Ice Age environments.
