Informations supplémentaires

The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) was a species of mammoth that inhabited North America as far north as the northern United States and as far south as Costa Rica during the Pleistocene epoch. Reaching 4 m (13 ft) at the shoulders and 10 tonnes (20, 000 lb) in weight, the Columbian mammoth was one of the largest species of mammoth. It had long, curved tusks and four molars, which were replaced six times during the lifetime of an individual. Columbian mammoths coexisted with Paleoamericans, who hunted them for food, used their bones for making tools, and depicted them in ancient art.
