Mammuthus primigenius, commonly known as the woolly mammoth, is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene epoch and into the early Holocene. Characterized by its long curved tusks and thick fur, it adapted to cold environments in the northern parts of North America, Europe, and Asia. Woolly mammoths primarily grazed on grasses and other vegetation, and their extinction is believed to have resulted from a combination of climate change and human hunting. Fossil remains have provided significant insights into their behavior and ecology.

The Huntington mammoth fossil is estimated to be around 13,000 years old. It belongs to the species Mammuthus primigenius, commonly known as the woolly mammoth. This age places it in the late Pleistocene epoch, a period characterized by the last ice ages and the presence of large megafauna.

The species name for the woolly mammoth is Mammuthus primigenius. This extinct species of elephant lived during the Pleistocene epoch and is known for its long, curved tusks and thick fur, which helped it survive in cold environments. Woolly mammoths roamed across parts of Europe, Asia, and North America before going extinct around 4,000 years ago.
