The woolly mammoth is one of the most iconic animals of the Ice Age. These massive, shaggy relatives of today’s elephants once roamed across all continents except Australia and South America, thriving in icy environments that most animals would find un-habitable.
 
Towering up to 13 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing as much as six tonnes, woolly mammoths were true giants, perfectly adapted to survive in a frozen world.
 
One of the most fascinating things about woolly mammoth fossils is that not just their bones, but sometimes even their hair and skin have been found still intact.
 
In rare cases, scientists have uncovered frozen mammoths with thick woolly coats of reddish-brown hair, preserved in the permafrost for tens of thousands of years.
