I don’t see any fur on her ... she looks like a regular elephant. Is it JSUT the fur that makes it a Mammoth or are there other characteristics?

Hey, that’s just a scientific reconstruction of the original face on the Sphinx.

Thanks! Normally I’m the one who finds all the old related topics.
Of course, I’d have put ‘em in chrono, alpha, or relevance order, but I’m a geek...

I did a fossil exhibit about ten years ago and learned a bit about mammoths. There were several types. The North American Columbian mammoth and the Imperial Mammoth of California ( some scientists think the two species were the same beast), the Woolly Mammoth and the Pygmy Mammoth, which lived on Catalina Island (and perhaps elsewhere) as late as 5,000 years ago. I believe the Woolly variety is the only one likely to be furry, as they lived in colder climates like Siberia.

Yes, although this picture isn't so far off. It's a bit different from earlier representations, however.

More mammoth stuff from Wikipedia:
“The southern mammoth consequently declined, being replaced across most of its territory by the cold-adapted steppe mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii). This in turn gave rise to the woolly mammoth, (Mammuthus primigenius) around 300,000 years ago. Woolly mammoths were better able to cope with the extreme cold of the Ice Ages.
The woollies were a spectacularly successful species; they ranged from Spain to North America and are thought to have existed in huge numbers...
...Fossils of species of dwarf mammoth have been found on the Californian Channel Islands (Mammuthus exilis) and the Mediterranean island of Sardinia (Mammuthus lamarmorae). There was also a race of dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island, north of Siberia, within the Arctic Circle.”

Well, that pic sure explains why someone chiseled the face off that monument...

Mammoth told her there’d be days like that.
Sorry, I just *have* to use that joke somewhere in every mammoth topic.

Many American women wouldn't take too well to having their name applied to an animal resembling an elephant. Why not? Many willingly shop at a place called "Dress Barn"!

Thanks. I sorta figured that one out myself. I’d be interested to know if anyone else has ever seen anything similar in the published literature?

And wear blouses made by "Sag Harbor". Ha! At least that's a real geographical place out in the Hamptons on Long Island!
