Where in the food chain is the wooly mammoth?
The woolly mammoth's ecological niche was about the same as a modern elephant. It was a grazer on the plains. A healthy adult mammoth would have only two natural predators: modern man and Neanderthal man, however the young, old, and sick would be fed on by wolves, bears, lions, and saber-toothed cats.
What is the weight of a woolly mammoth?
A full grown wolly mammoth weighs between 12000 - 20000 lbs. Wooly mamoths weigh 12 000 to 20 000 pounds
wooly mammoths were herbivores . They only ate grass and plants
What caused the extinction of the mammoth?
Mammoths became extinct because of climate change. The atmosphere's temperature went up so high that it made mammoths become extinct. Over hunting by our ancestors that lived during the ice age is also one of the factors why they got extinct.
either they couldn't deal with the climate change around 10,000 years ago, or they were hunted to extinction by early humans
Because it disappeared at 1,700 B.C.
What is a wooly mammoth movement?

Adult mammoths only had one natural predator, the saber toothed cat. Unprotected mammoth calves could have been hunted by many large predators, such as cave hyenas, flat faced bears, American lions, saber toothed cats, and Dire wolves, to name a few. Prehistoric humans also hunted mammoths, including adults.
Why did the woolly rhinoceros become extinct?
Woolly rhinos were alive during the last Ice Age. Like most Ice Age animals, when the temperatures became warmer and the ice and snow melted, they died. It was too warm and they were too big.
Wooly mammoth vs saber-toothed tiger who would win?
African Elephant. Despite their name mammoth's weren't all that big: five to eight feet at the shoulder.
According to my sources (Which may be wrong, I grant.) They were up to 13ft, the dwarf species were 5 - 8. They were 6-8 tons, up to a big 10-12 for large males. The tusks were large at 16ft. But don't forget the hair was up to 20 inches long, and very thick with another 3 inches of skin under that, a bit like the blubber of whales. But the muscles in their body were very strong for even their big size, and had lived with extremely dangerous predators.
Size isn't everything.
no, technology doesn't allow for it yet. Maybe a few years into the future though.
What animals descend from Woolly Mammoth?
There are no living descendants of woolly mammoths. African elephants are a separate branch, and Asian elephants are a near relative. While there are other mammoth species, these are currently thought to have evolved alongside the woolly mammoth from species such as the steppe mammoth.
How long was the woolly mammoth around?
The woolly mammoth was the last species of the genus Mammuthus. Most populations of the woolly mammoth in Eurasia and North America died out at the end of the last Ice Age.
There are many explanations about how they died.
One is: About 12,000 years ago, wetter, warmer weather began to take hold. The woolly mammoth, in its warm, thick furry coat, could not withstand the rising temperatures.
Another is: Due to the climate change different plants started to grow in the countries in which the Woolly Mammoth lived. There became more of these plants and less grass and other vegetation the Mammoth ate. When the Mammoth's food source had gone they ventured further north in order to find some more food. Eventually there was no food left anywhere and the Mammoth died out. This theory's evidence is that by examining the pollen that came from around that time you can see that there are very little amounts of grass pollen (which is what mammoth's ate) and much more other pollen. You can see that the Mammoths moved further north when there became less mammoth fossils in areas the Mammoths used to live and more further North.
Is a Tyrannosarus Rex larger than a Woolly Mammoth?

It was cute looking, May have been a regular baby elephant with some skin color anomaly. This was l974. Mom said ( Poor creature misses its Mother!) how right.
What causes the earth is have tides?
The cause of Earth's tides is gravitational pull from the Moon and the Sun. The Moon's influence on the tide is far, far, stronger than the Sun's, however. The gravity pulls up on the water on the part of the Earth closest to the Moon, as well as causing a bulge on the exact opposite part of the bulge. As the Earth rotates, the location of high tide moves around the world. In every 24 hour cycle, or every full rotation of Earth, there are two high tides and two low tides.
