What Was the Woolly Mammoth?
A Hairy Giant from the Ice Age!
Meet the Woolly Mammoth
The Woolly Mammoth was a huge, furry animal that lived thousands of years ago during the Ice Age. It looked a lot like an elephant but had long, shaggy hair to keep warm in freezing weather. It also had long, curved tusks that it used to dig through snow and fight off enemies!Where Did It Live?
Woolly Mammoths lived in cold places like Europe, Asia, and North America. They liked open, grassy lands called the mammoth steppe. It was super chilly, but their thick fur and layers of fat kept them cozy.What Did It Eat?
These gentle giants were herbivores, which means they only ate plants. Their diet included grass, shrubs, and moss. They had big, flat teeth perfect for chewing tough plants.Why Did They Disappear?
No one knows for sure, but many scientists think the Woolly Mammoth disappeared because the Earth got warmer and humans started hunting them. Some small mammoths survived on an island for thousands of years after most were gone!Did You Know?
