Eurasia and North America (Woolly Mammoth that is). Good places are gravel pits and... the bottom of the North Sea! The North Sea was a plain during the last ice age with lots of animals, such as ancient bison, giant elk, reindeer, woolly rhino, horses, lions, hyena and mammoths. Fishing boats catch many fossils in their nets, with more than a thousand mammoth teeth alone each year!

What were the enemies of the woolly mammoth?
Adult woolly mammoths were so large that they had few predators. Predators of adult woolly mammoths would have been prehistoric humans and Neanderthals, and possibly Eurasian cave lions and Homotherium (a type of saber-toothed cat). Juveniles and calves would definitely have been hunted by all of the above predators as well as by cave hyenas, which would not have been able to kill an adult mammoth.

A Mammoth is an extinct genus of proboscidean (of which the Elephant belongs), often with long curved tusks and, in northern species, a covering of long hair. They lived from 4.8 million years ago to around 3,500 years ago. There are some 11 species of mammoth known from the fossil records, and they are distributed broadly across the earth. A word more recently used to mean massive or very large. A link is provided to the Wikipedia article on the mammoth. Many more facts are easily gathered, there. Some good pictures and drawings are also on display.
the meat for food, the bones for materials like musical instruments, the skin as clothing and the tusks for tents

Their tusks are teeth; the second set of incisors become the tusks. They are used for digging for food, for fighting during mating season, and for defense against predators.
Is the wooly mammoth coming back to life?
My opinion would be no it would be cruel as mammoths have 3 layers of hair and therefore in most climates of the world a wholly mammoth would not be able to adapt.
But another argument people have is that it would be great to clone a mammoth a scientific leap! as you would be able to see it in its natural wildlife and allot more questions would be able to be answered as allot cannot be by just examing fossils like : why did they go extinct was it diseases from humans? and also their mating rituals but for this to happen an Asian elephant would have to carry a 20,000 year old mammoth which some say would not be fair!
Also people fear as an episode of Jurassic Park could come true! what would be next on the list the Dinosaur?

Mammoths were not recognized scientifically as different from elephants until 1796, when Georges Cuvier argued they were a new species of extinct ancient elephant
Why did the wooly mammoth die?
The demise of the woolly mammoth is still widely debated by researchers. Many, however, believe extinction was due to geological changes in soil and food that no longer allowed these large animals to obtain the vast amounts of nutrients they needed to survive. Evidence of osteoporosis and other severe bone diseases in mammoth remains have led scientists to this conclusion.
They were or are herbivorous- as are Horses. I once saw what was billed as a living Baby Wooly Mammoth on the back of a not-too-large pickup truck at of all things a Church Flea Market in about l974. It was claimed the creature weighed 225 lbs, same as an average man, and top end for most dogs. I once saw a Bull-Mastiff named Battlewagon that weighed in at about 225.
How did a woolly mammoth move?
Mammoth blood contains special cold adaptations that helped to survive in the Arctic. The oxygen carrying molecules in the blood of woolly mammoths was adapted to survive extreme cold. Mammoths had more than woolly coats to protect them from the frigid conditions of their sub-zero stomping grounds. The extinct beasts had a form of antifreeze blood.
