@@TheUltimateWriterNZ I'm just unlucky enough to live somewhere where they are not uncommon. I've lost my balance and fallen into the trunk of one lol.
Another big difference is that mastodons were actually ill-suited to glacial conditions and did better in warmer intervals (like the one we're in now). Needless to say, this has massive implications about why they went extinct.
It's because they didn't evolve with humans for an extended period. African elephants and Asian elephants had 300k and 100k years to evolve while humans developed around them. Everything on the east side of the Pacific had 25k years, maybe a bit more? Climatic shit, fucking humans, and who knows what else will put you on the backdoor pretty quick.

The level of relationship is understated by the species tree. A Mastodon, Mammoth and elephants-- although distinct species --are not that much more distinct than, for example, a Tiger and a Lion. If all three of Mastodons, Mammoth, and elephants were alive today we'd be probably calling them all "elephants" species... just like we call tigers and lions "cats".
Am I the only one who thinks treating mamooths as "related to elephants" and not just "elephants" is weird, given: 1. They are not that much different from the rest of elephants 2. They are INSIDE of modern elephant cladogram? (mamooths and Indian elephant ancestors splitting later than ancestors of both with ancestors of African elephants) I mean, the only reason we consider them different is the fact they gone extinct on early stage of human civilization and they were always "those extinct animals" for "scientific community". If they survived longer we most likely would think of them as just another type of elephant next to African and Indian.
They are a bit different though, such as living in cold climates and being big and wooly, we might still call them something different if they were still around.
I really enjoy the precedence this video sets for future TBD vids, although I find the concept of the video less interesting, I enjoy the small power videos which are well researched and comical (the beginning! Laughed my bootie off)
When Daddy Mastodon re-married and brought home the Steppe Mammoth, they got straight to work trying to conceive the unholy abomination we call the Mammastodon.
Neighboring city has a famous mastodon they found in a waterfall in the 1800s, awesome to think that they were roaming around ancient versions of places I've been. Obviously those places are very different now, but still.
thanks for not immediately asking me to like and subscribe to a channel and video ive never seen before. great video! i learned a lot and you have another subscriber.
If they were doing to clone an extinct creature, they would probably clone something that only recently went extinct. It would probably be something that would not be very exciting. Like the animal that domesticated cows came from. Aurochs went extinct around the early 1600's.
So the gist of this is: When a mommy mammoth and a daddy mammoth really love each other, they have a baby mammoth. But sometimes they stop loving each other, and the daddy mammoth will go away. Then, sometimes, the mommy mammoth will fall in love again and a Steppe Mammoth will join the family!
Everyone seems so keen to bring the mammoth back just so they can suffer through global warming I say bring mastodon back so he can clean the underbrush and keep from having to do prescribed burns to prevent forest fires.
Actually, if we brought the Woolly Mammoth back, and put them up in the tundra where they'd naturally be, they'd actually be helping prevent global warming, as the mammoths help stomp away the snow which insulates the ground during the winter and allows natural gasses to leak from the earth, and thus the ground would freeze over better and the gasses would remain in the earth.
Also Mastodons wouldn't help that much with clearing the underbrush anyway, if they are like other herbivores. They'd pick the choicest of of shrubs and grasses first, not the wilting and dry underbrush which they would eat only if they absolutely have to.
I agree with redoran that the mammoths would help global warming (not because I’m smart I just saw a video on it) but it is easier to bring back mammoths because they found specimens in the permafrost that are in tact, mastodons only have bones because they did not live in such cold climates.
The picture of a mammoth used in the wild west bit is from a museum i used to go to all the time when i was a kid, theres probably pictures of little me in front of it somewhere.

Okay so question. Would if African elephants were exposed to the same conditions that evolved the mammoth would they eventually evolve back into woolly mammoths?
I’m amazed that mammoth tusks and especially tissues are still found in Siberia today buried under the tundra! There was a story just over a century ago of one discovered remarkably preserved well enough that the sled dogs were fed thawed flesh off of it! Talk about freezer burnt!
Actually, there are lot of historical reports about humans eating thawed mammoth meat too. It was even served as a dish on banquets at Austrian Imperial Court during the Austrohungarian Empire. But allegedly it wasn't of the best quality. Being frozen for thousands of years destroys texture and flavor.
Not gonna lie I was hoping to see to massive, hairy elephants fighting each other to the death when I first clicked the video. Still, very interesting. I sticked to the end.
In the Japanese source material, Kyouryuu Sentai Zyuranger the thing is actually referred to as a Mammoth. They also call what we know as the Pterodactyl Zord the Pteranodon. Japan be getting shit right while we in America fucking get it wrong.
Another huge difference is that the mastodon can combine with the T-rex, triceratops, sabertooth tiger, and pterodactyl to form a Megazord.
Don't forget the dragon to make a new megazord
Why is this funny. I don't want it to be
Can confirm. I've performed this combination multiple times myself

I guess you're not wrong, as modern elephants aren't directly descended from Mammoths. More like cousins.
So they are elephants. Just hairy ones.
Well the elephants that currently live are what we refer to as elephants. It’s just semantics
They are a bit different though, such as living in cold climates and being big and wooly, we might still call them something different if they were still around.
