GENERAL GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -One species, called woolly mammoths, roamed the cold tundra of Europe, Asia, and North America from about 300, 000 years ago up until about 10, 000 years ago.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most mammoths went extinct more than 10, 000 years ago, coinciding with an important climate change at the end of the last ice age.

Detailed explanation-3: -Until recently, the last woolly mammoths were generally assumed to have vanished from Europe and southern Siberia about 12, 000 years ago, but new findings show some were still present there about 10, 000 years ago.

Detailed explanation-4: -Individuals could probably reach the age of 60. Its habitat was the mammoth steppe, which stretched across northern Eurasia and North America. The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans, who used its bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings, and hunted the species for food.
