Mammoth XL

Mammoth

These mighty creatures had tusks like the Elephant and were prevelant throughout North America.  They had longer
upper limb bones and shorter lower limbs and their tusks added a growth ring every year just as the trees do.
Their preferred habitat was forest and spruce woodland. They had 5 toes and weighed a considerable amount.
The fossilized bones of these huge creatures have been found throughout the United States but largely ranged along the Atlantic Coast and south of the Great Lakes.  These wonderful creatures became extinct around 10,000 BC.
Watch out for the Mammoth!
