Chapter 11 - Early Quaternary

Here is another one of your favorite prehistoric creatures, the Woolly Mammoth, one of the most popular prehistoric mammals in history!  Woolly Mammoths were a group of elephants with giant, curving tusks adapted for grazing, and as you can see, the Woolly Mammoth did not have large ears like modern day elephants, because they were adapted for living in cold environments.

Out of Africa and into America, the Woolly Mammoths traveled on a large land bridge that connected America, Asia, and Europe.

Coelodonta, also known as the Woolly Rhino, was the inspiration for the Mudhorn in the Star Wars Mandalorian Series and also one of the mammals that Woolly Mammoths met on their large migration from Africa to America.

Bison Latifrons still has descendants living today, the American Bison, but was sadly over-hunted by humans
