Dental records show a mammoth underbite! Braces would not have been a orthodontic possibility.

I read recently that these beasts lived in northern Siberia up unto 1500 BC.

Not that long ago.

I had watched the show about this and at the end they said they were going to need further study to find out what happened. I was a wee bit PO'd. I figured I'd never find out what happened.

Thanks for the post and Always wear your PFD.

I think the 4 is a typo. It’s 13,000 plus or minus 900 years.
