    My favorite Ice Age critters are still sabertooth cats but I loved finding mammoth fossils here in Florida. We don't have bones of the Whooly Mammoth but many Columbian Mammoth fossils. I was fortunate enough to work on several fossils sites comtaing these giants of the Pleistocene mega fauna and I also love studying the fossils of their cousins the Gomphotheres and mastodons. I recently spoke with Dr. Daniel Fisher at the University of Michigan about his latest research on Mammoth specimens from Siberia. This research is bringing to the public a greater awareness of these giants biology and life styles. Very excellent video.

      There is no such thing as a "wooly" mammoth. Which you would know if you find mammoth fossils in Florida. The mammoths at the North pole didn't have wool but merely light hair. They died frozen to death when the temperature dropped hundreds of degrees very rapidly. They were still standing up and some with food in their mouths. They froze so fast that they didn't have time to fall over. They just died.
      Look up Walt Brown's book, "In the Beginning".

    My moms uncle who died in 1994 had what I believe was a Mammoth tusk he found in southern Minnesota in an area that later became a park. It was very straight and about 8 feet long. It was in a round clear tube when I saw it in 1994 and the surface was flaking like an old bar of soap left outside of a package for several years. He had a $10,000 tag on it as he had been trying to sell it for too much for years or decades. I saw it after he passed away and his son said that it was going to be donated to a museum.

      You hear of lots of theories about the Grand Canyon and I think they are wrong in some ideas about a great Ice dam breaking and it washed all the dirt away. I believe that America was covered in ice because it was in a different position as the earth was tilted differently. It was during this very early time that the canyons were formed and they filled with ice so they couldn`t fill with anything and about 12,000 years ago the earth was hit with a comet large enough to change it`s tilt and that when the Grand Canyon opened up like it is now. I think several such things has made the earth change its tilt in the last million years or so.

      @wackoguywatch carbon dating isn't used on fossils or specimens older than about 10,000 years. There are 3 other types of radiometric dating that all correlate and give similar ages despite all having wildly different half-lives; there's uranium-lead dating, potassium-argon dating and rubidium-strontium dating. I suggest you actually read up on the actual science of radiometric dating before making such baseless assumptions.

    A prehistoric elephant is any member of Elephantidae that is extinct, modern elephants are a paraphyletic group because prehistoric elephants are nestled within lineages that include modern elephants, asian elephants (genus Elephas) are more closely related to both mammoths (genus Mammuthus) and straight-risked elephants (genus Palaeoloxodon) than they are to african elephants (genus Loxodonta), african elephants are a basal genus within the subfamily Elephantinae (True Elephants), the four-tusked elephants (genus Primelephas) are the only known members of the subfamily Primelephantinae, mammoths are officially counted as elephants because they are part of Elephantidae.

If we are going to call the period from the Eemian to the start of the present warm (inter-glacial) period and ice age, we need another name for the 2.75m year period in which there were numerous warm and cold periods.

    There are many animals that I wonder what caused their extinction, the mammoth is not one of them. It is obvious in their fur coats. Large herbivores, todays elephants need to feast all day long to support their huge size. Mammoths were even larger yet their furry coats show they lived in an increasingly cold climate. It is one thing to evolve a warm coat but with increased cold, comes less grass. How could a huge Mammoth get enough greenery to eat in places where the ground is covered in snow? Climate change killed off the Mammoth. Their only remaining relatives survived in the warmest parts of our planet. The last remaining Mammoths were on a warm island. Climate change, the ice age killed them. We are lucky to have any of their relatives alive today. We should be focusing on preserving the remaining elephants.

      the steppe plain is a very dry grassland, so not much snow. there was a huge endless plain of grass for plenty of food to support millions of mammoth. and the steppes were able to exist because the ice age tied up all the water and kept the planet dry. any herbivore that was adapted for cold would have become very plentiful in these places. it's explained in this vid.

    • @Ispeakthetruthify
      @Ispeakthetruthify 2 года назад

      Not all mammoths had long furry coats, that was the wooly mammoth and to some extent the steppe mammoth. Other species of mammoths had very short hair, and little to no hair. And the Mammoth Steppe was one of the most productive environments the planet has EVER seen. Hence the reason it could support large numbers of large herbivores and carnivores. It was not snow covered, the Steppe was the cold/dry/fertile area, South of the large ice sheets.

      NOPE, what you just said is false. Get debunked.
      1. Mammoths including the Woolly Mammoth are NOT the ancestor of today’s elephants.
      2. They’re only close relatives.
      3. What you just brought up is the outdated evolution garbage.

      Good question! They were herbivores and mostly ate grasses, leaves, berries or fruits.

    • @Ronin969
      @Ronin969 2 года назад

      @@get.factual I understand that. And the doc gave as good an answer as i could find elsewhere.
      But pressing the issue a bit, if modern elephants require over 600 lbs of vegetation per day, and tundra grass isnt exactly thick enough for one to "wrap their trunk around", I'm curious if the delicate grasping ability of the tip of the trunk could really collect the amount compared too the lawnmower teeth of more conventional grazers.
      Modern elephants wrap their trunks like pythons around large bunches of veg to satisfy their dietary needs; rather than plucking a few blades of grass here and there with the tip.
      It makes me wonder if their tusks weren't more involved in the way that wild boars "root up" well....roots.
      That said it's a good doc, I'm liking the channel so far, and my silly questions are more musings than a demand for an answer :)

    All animal species suffered when humans showed up. We were apex predators taking over the earth because that’s what apex predators do. We just happened to be omnivores that loved to eat. Jaguars in South America are twice as small as they used to be because humans showed up but they maintained a characteristic from these larger jaguars and that was the ability to crush a human skull with its jaw force.
