How heavy is the wooly mammoth?
There were many species of mammoth, and each one had a different weight. On average, mammoths weighed about 6 to 8 tons. However, the largest was the Songhua River Mammoth, which weighed as much as 19 tons. At the other extreme, there were Pygmy Mammoths, which weighed only 1 ton.
What did the woolly mammoth use its tail for?
The woolly mammoth used its tail primarily for balance and communication. Its tail helped maintain stability while navigating through its cold, snowy habitat. Additionally, it may have been used for swatting away insects or signaling to other mammoths, enhancing social interactions within herds.
How did the mammoth get its name?
There are several stories purportedly describing how the the name "mammoth" came to be for the large relative of modern elephants. One of the better-documented explanations is that it derives from the word maimanto, an old Russian word derived from a Tatar word for "the earth". It was the name of an animal that supposedly lived underground and was a source of ivory. That would of course tie in with the fact that mammoth carcasses were often found buried in eastern Russia, many with their tusks still attached. The story is further supported by the fact that mammoths were also known to the Chinese who similarly assumed them to be subterranean dwellers.
Interestingly, for over a century the word "mammoth" was solely used as a noun referring to that extinct animal, and NOT as an adjective meaning "huge". That changed in 1802 when President Jefferson was given a large cheese wheel; its manufacturer called it "mammoth cheese", presumably in honor of Jefferson's strong interest in paleontology. The general public instead connected to word to the wheel's size and ithin a few years its usage morphed to the current meaning.

Where do you find a mammoths tusk in skyrim?
You can get a mammoth's tusk by killing a mammoth or you can buy one from Lucan, the Riverwood Trader. If you want to get a mammoth's tusk without killing a mammoth or spending gold, you can find a few mammoth's tusks and snouts as well in Halted Stream Camp, but it in that location there will be a couple of bandits that you will have to kill.
Is it legal to sell a wooly mammoth tusk and where would one sell it?
Yes. Any ivory over a certain age is considered "fossil" ivory, and the tusk from a woolly mammoth would certainly qualify.
Where to sell it? I'd recommend Sotheby's.

Comment on 'Land of the Mammoth'
by Michael J. Oard 16 March, 2001 The presentation of 'Land of the Mammoth' on the Discovery Channel, March 11, was a sequel to the show of last March in which mammoth researchers dug out what they thought was a frozen carcass encased in a block of icy mud. The plan was to slowly thaw out the block the next summer and early fall. This was one of two main themes in the "Land of the Mammoth." However, the researchers were quite disappointed to find only a bit of frozen flesh about the size of a strip of bacon along with 4 vertebrae and 2 ribs. There was no frozen carcass. However, they only thawed out the top 7 inches or so of the block and hope to find the contents of the stomach next year.
