Why did mammoths have smaller ears than modern elephants?
Mammoths had smaller ears than modern elephants to help conserve body heat in the cold Ice Age climate. Smaller ears reduce heat loss in cold environments compared to larger ears found in modern elephants that are more suited for dissipating heat in warmer climates. This adaptation helped mammoths survive in their icy habitats.
