Woolly Mammoths

Woolly mammoths were large

mammals. They lived in Asia, Europe, LEARN STEP BY STEP
and North America during the last ice
age. They looked like today’s Asian
elephants, but they were different in
some ways. They had tick brown fur
to keep them warm in cold climates.
They had enormous tusks. They used
their tusks for fighting or finding food.
Woolly mammoths became extinct
about 10,000 years ago. They were
around 4 meters tall and weighed up
to 7000 kg.
They mainly ate leaves, fruits, berries,
nuts, and grass. An average lifespan of a woolly mammoth was 60 years. Saber-toothed
cats usually attacked woolly mammoths for food. According to some scientists, humans
went into woolly mammoths' habitats about 40 000 years ago. They hunted woolly
mammoths for their meat, skin and bones. Hunting was one of the reasons of their
extinction according to them.
