Why did mammoths have smaller ears than modern elephants?
Modern elephants ears' act as a cooling system for their entire bodies...blood is pumped through the ears, which dissipate heat into the air around them. Since Mammoths lived in colder climates, they would not need ears of this size. In addition: Living in freezing conditions, without smaller ears able to be covered by the fur, the ears would be subject to frostbite.
