	The Wooly Mammoth - ExploreNorth
		Most of the 100 or so mammoths found to date appear to have gotten trapped and died in swamps or soft soil, or to have been buried by avalanches.
		The Jarkov Mammoth seems to have gotten stuck in mud in the bottom of a creek.
		Although the mammoth was found by a Dolgan boy, interest in his people seems to have faded quite quickly.

	WOOLLY MAMMOTH FOSSILS
		Woolly mammoths descended from the Steppe mammoths (Mammuthus trogontherii).
		The DNA of an extinct wooly mammoth is 95% identical to an Indian elephant.
		With recent discoveries of wooly mammoth remains frozen in tundra, there are ongoing attempts to clone intact DNA with that of the modern Indian elephant.

		Wooly mammoths are an extinct species of elephant that lived in Europe, North America and North Asia through the Ice Age.
		Most mammoths were actually about the size of the Indian elephant of modern times, but a few like the Imperial Mammoth of California reached a height of 13 feet at the shoulder.
		Some Wooly mammoths were of a dwarf size and have been found off the coast of Siberia on the Wrangel Island.

	Mammoth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mammoths are one of the most well known, extinct mammals.
		There have been occasional claims that the mammoth is not actually extinct, and that small isolated herds might survive in the vast and sparsely inhabited tundra of the northern hemisphere.
		The mammoth is described fairly accurately as a "huge shaggy beast that roamed the land long ago", but is also said to steal meat and eat people, suggesting that the creature in the story could be a conflation of more than one kind of animal.

	CNN.com - Wildlife park to add mammoth attraction - August 21, 2002
		Mammoths became extinct about 10,000 years ago, but using a technique that involves impregnating an Indian elephant -- its closest genetic relative -- with mammoth sperm and then repeating the procedure with its offspring could produce a creature that is 88 percent mammoth in 50 years, the report said.
		There are believed to be ten million mammoths buried in the permafrost in Siberia, but because of the sparse population in the region only around one hundred specimens have been recovered.
		However, despite the fact that most mammoths recovered from Siberia are seen as some of the finest museum examples in the world, poor excavation and preservation methods have ruined the chances for any reproduction of the animals by destroying tissue samples.

	Wooly Mammoth - Animal Details
		The Wooly Mammoth's ability to find food beneath snow and ice made it possible for it to live on the tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America during the Ice Age.
		Since the Wooly Mammoth prefers to live in colder climates, its coat is made up of a double layer of thick, coarse fur over a three-inch layer of fat.
		The Wooly Mammoth sheds its fur at the beginning of the summer and regrows it in time for the next winter.

	Woolly Mammoth - Mastodon - Crystalinks
		Mammoths had a number of adaptations to the cold, most famously the thick layer of shaggy hair, up to 50 cm (20 in) long, for which the woolly mammoth is named.
		Scientists have completed the oldest mitochondrial genome sequence from the 33,000-year-old remains of a woolly mammoth; results show mammoths and Asian elephants are a sister species that diverged soon a fter their common ancestor split from the lineage of the African elephant.
		Mammoth teeth found at a second site, in the village of Marsworth, Buckinghamshire, point to a second clash of the giants, later in their evolution.

	THE WOOLY MAMMOTH SPEAKS
		This the Wooly Mammoth perceives as the new potential future for the Middle East due to the changes in energy flow that are a result of earth’s global ascent.
		Therefore earth and Wooly Mammoth alike invite those reading this information to use this time in history for this purpose; to release the remaining karma in one’s ancestry for war that is mirrored outward in the global turn of events.
		This in and of itself is a grand accomplishment from the perspective of Wooly Mammoth.

	Canada Fossils: Mammoth Tusks
		Mammoth tusks have been found in Europe, North America and Asia since the end of the last ice age.

	From the Wooly Mammoth to Bigfoot
		Then, the mammoth began a migration northward, growing hair as a result of the frigid climate it now found itself in.
		These mammoths are said to have migrated across the land bridge from Russia to Alaska and have been found as far south as Arizona.
		Since the mammoth and the Asian elephant migrated east into Asia, I would theorize that it is possible that our ancestors also migrated with them, following their food source across the Asian region.

		The woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, with its covering of shaggy hair, was adapted to the extremes of the ice ages.

	Stephen Baxter: Mammoth: Silverhair
		Rather than tell the story of the team of adventurers that stumbles upon the last enclave of mammoths on an isolated arctic island, Baxter tells his tale from the point of view of Silverhair, a female member of the mammoth herd.
		In addition to describing the present day trials and tribulations as the last herd of mammoths attempts to survive their discovery, Baxter includes tidbits of mammoth history and legend, dating back to Kilukpuk, the legendary mother of all mammalian species.
		Once the Lost make their appearance, the mammoths discover that they have a new enemy in their world who they will not be able to survive if the idea of survival of the fittest has any validity.

		Mammoths (genus Mammuthus) are extinct elephant-like animals that were adapted to cold weather.
		Mammoths lived from about 2 million years ago to 9,000 years ago, during the last ice age (the Pleistocene Epoch).
		Mammoths had longer tusks than mastodons, a wider head, a sloping back, flat, chewing teeth, a trunk with two finger-like projections, and were mostly taller.

	Woolly Mammoth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		While most woolly mammoths died out at the end of the Pleistocene (12,000 years ago), a small population survived on Wrangel Island, located in the Arctic Ocean, up until 1700 B.C. Possibly due to their limited food supply, these animals were a dwarf variety, thus much smaller than the original Pleistocene woolly mammoth.
		The woolly mammoth was featured in the last episode of the 2001 BBC series Walking With Beasts, where a herd of mammoths are walking to the Alps.

		A portion of the genetic code of the mammoth has been reconstructed and, to the surprise of scientists, the team that carried out the feat believes that it will be possible to decode the entire genetic make-up.
		The work is described by an international team of researchers, including one from Oxford University, who sequenced a chunk of ancient DNA belonging to the mammoth and "fellow travellers" from its remains, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and plants that lived at the same time as the mammoth.
		The team extracted nuclear DNA from the mammoth's jawbone, concentrating it before it was amplified and sequenced by a relatively new technique called pyrosequencing.
