The Gwacheon National Science Museum<\/b> includes an exhibit on the woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius<\/i>)<\/b>, presenting a replica skeleton of an adult specimen.
It represents an animal that could reach up to 3.5 meters<\/b> in length and weigh about 2.5 tons<\/b>, providing insight into the size and structure of this Ice Age species.<\/p>\n

Alongside the reconstruction, TIMA, a young mammoth from Omsk, Siberia, about 7 years old, 1.8 m tall, and with over 80% of its original bones, is shown in a previously taken photograph of mine, displayed here.<\/p>\n

Scientific Classification:<\/b>
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Chordata
Class: Mammalia
Order: Proboscidea
Family: Elephantidae
Genus: Mammuthus \u2020
Species: M. primigenius \u2020<\/p>\n

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius<\/i>), a close relative of today\u2019s elephants, once occupied the vast cold grasslands of the \u201cmammoth steppe,\u201d which stretched across Eurasia and North America during the last Ice Age.
Well adapted to the freezing conditions of the Pleistocene, it carried a thick insulating fat layer beneath its skin, a coat of long, shaggy hair, and ears smaller than those of modern elephants to limit heat loss.
Adult animals could reach about 3.5 meters<\/b> in height, while their distinctive tusks\u2014strongly curved and massive\u2014sometimes grew to more than 4 meters<\/b> in length.
Feeding mainly on grasses, shrubs, and woody vegetation, these large herbivores began to decline roughly 10,000 years ago, a process linked to climatic changes and human hunting, though a few isolated populations persisted on Arctic islands until around 4,000 years ago.<\/p>\n
