times of spreading ice sheets of an Ice Age.
What do we know about Ice Age mammals? The woolly mammoth was a
prehistoric elephant about the size of a modern elephant.This animal lived near the
glaciers. It had a shaggy coat of red hair and a thick layer of fat under its skin. On its
head and shoulders were humps like camel's humps. Its wool-coat and its fat helped
keep the mammoth warm. A mammoth's tusks curved in to form a kind of a
snowplow, and the mammoth used them to push snow away. Then it ate the grass that
was under the snow.
The saber-toothed tiger hunted the woolly mammoth, it probably chose a
small,weak one that lagged behind the rest of the herd. It leaped on the mammoth's
back, held on with its long strong claws and stabbed the mammoth many times with
its fangs.
Another prehistoric elephant was the mastodon. It had long red fur and big
tusks, but it did not have humps.
