Woolly Mammoth Family
An illustration of a family of Woolly Mammoths grazing on what is left of the grasses as winter approaches in this ice age scene. The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) was a species of mammoth, the common name for the extinct elephant genus Mammuthus. The woolly mammoth was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene. M. primigenius diverged from the steppe mammoth, M. trogontherii, about 200,000 years ago in eastern Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. (Definition source: Wikipedia)
