Woolly Mammoths (mammuthus primigenius) lived from about 2 million years ago to about 10,000 years ago during the last ice age.
This was after dinosaurs were extinct. These magnificent animals were from 9 to 15 feet tall with either straight or
curved tusks up to 15 feet long. Since this species is extinct there is no ban on international trade of tusks or
items made with mammoth ivory. A mammoth would eat about 700 pounds of vegetation per day as they were herbivores. Cave
paintings of mammoths have been found in France and Spain. Since they lived during the ice age,
they had heavy fur coats.
