MAMMUTUS PRIMIGENIUS: WOOLLY MAMMOTH

This fellow is Mammutus primigenius a Woolly Mammoth from the Pleistocene of Siberia, Russia. Mammoths have a wonderful display of mammoth teeth, the diagnostic flat enamel plates and the equally distinct pointy cusped molars of the mastodons. He was a true elephant, unlike his less robust cousins, the mastodons. Mammoths were bigger — both in girth and height — weighing in at a max of 13 tonnes.
