Historical Context: Mammoths were giant herbivorous mammals that lived during the Pleistocene Epoch, from around 2.5 million years ago to their extinction approximately 4,000 years ago. These creatures were part of the Elephantidae family and are known for their long, curved tusks, thick fur, and adaptation to cold climates. Mammoths roamed across vast areas of North America, Europe, and Asia, and their fossilized remains provide crucial insights into prehistoric ecosystems and the megafauna that once dominated these landscapes.

The mammoth’s extinction is still debated, though theories suggest it may have been caused by a combination of climate change, overhunting by early humans, and other ecological factors. The discovery of mammoth teeth, along with other bones, has helped paleontologists and archaeologists understand their diet, behavior, and environment, as well as the interaction between humans and these ancient creatures.
