What kind of fossil is a woolly mammoth?
They had excessive amounts of fur.They also did not lay eggs.
Some researchers have doubts that mammoths lived in the cold climate zones. Recently, Russian scientists have received strong evidence of woolly mammoths' frost-resistance - they possessed sebaceous glands. The trip to visit mammoths was paid by the International Scientific and Technical Center, and the researchers' search for sebaceous glands was supported by the Federal Target Scientific and Technical Program entitled "Investigations and Developments for Science and Engineering Priority Guidelines in 2002-2006".
Specialists of the VECTOR State Research Center for Virology and Biotechnology and the Zoological Institute (Russian Academy of Sciences) have discovered sebaceous glands in the skin of woolly mammoths, the scientific community unsuccessfully looking for sebaceous glands for more than a hundred years. As sebaceous glands are an instrument of adaptation to cold climate, the discovery by Russian scientists serves a convincing argument in the dispute whether the mammoths did live in the frost.
Did the woolly mammoth use its trunk for water?
Elephants are good swimmers, so there's no reason to think that a wooly mammoth couldn't swim. The water would be very cold, though.

What did mammoths use their tusks for?

There were several species of mammoth, and each one was a different size. One of the smallest mammoths, the Pygmy Mammoth, was only about 4.5 to 7 ft tall. The largest mammoth and the second largest known terrestrial mammal was the Songhua River mammoth, which stood 17 ft tall, 30 ft long, and weighed 19 tons. The woolly mammoth was medium sized, and was 9 to 12 ft tall, about the same height as an Asiatic elephant, although they weighed 8 tons (3 tons more than the Asiatic elephant).
How many gallons of water does a woolly mammoth drink?
the wooly mammouth is extinct. Actually they died in the ice age. their closest relation is with the elephant.
What period time did the wooly mammoth live?
Mammoths lived from about 5 million years ago until about 3,700 years ago.* That falls into the geologic time periods of the Neogene (which was from about 23 to 2.5 million years ago) and the Quaternary (which was from 2.5 million years ago and continues today).
The epochs that the mammoths lived in are the Pliocene (which was from about 5.3 to 2.5 million years ago), the Pleistocene (which was from about 2.5 million to 12,000 years ago), and the Holocene (from 12,000 years ago through the present day).
*Most mammoths died out about 10,000 years ago. However, a few dwarf subspecies survived beyond that, the longest lasting one being dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island. These survived until approximately 1700 BC.
How do you tame a mammoth in mo'creatures?
To tame a mammoth in the Mo' Creatures mod, first, you need to locate one in a snowy biome. Once you find a mammoth, you’ll need to feed it apples or wheat to gain its trust. After feeding it several times, the mammoth will become tamed and can be ridden. You can also use a saddle to control its movements.
What fossil evidence is there that the wolly mammoth ever existed?
Fossil evidence of the woolly mammoth includes well-preserved skeletons, teeth, and tusks discovered in various locations, particularly in Siberia and the Arctic. Some specimens have been found frozen in permafrost, allowing for remarkable preservation of their soft tissues and even hair. Additionally, sites containing mammoth dung and footprints provide insight into their behavior and habitat. These remains confirm that woolly mammoths roamed the Earth during the Pleistocene epoch, adapting to cold environments.
