The columbian mammoth is a member of the elephant family that lived in the ice ages. It had several adaptations to endure the cold, such as lessfur and small ears.[1] They went extinct only around 10,000 years ago, possibly due to sabre toothed tiger hunting. Mammoths have also become widespread in popular culture, notably in the movie Ice Age.
