Interesting facts about the prehistoric history of the mammoth

Mammoths are among the most impressive inhabitants of the Ice Ages. Their massive tusks could grow up to three meters long and were used not only as tools but also as weapons in the struggle for dominance and territory. With a shoulder height of up to four meters and a weight of up to ten tons, they resembled giant elephants, but were well adapted to cold climates with their dense woolly hair. They primarily lived in what is known as the mammoth steppe – a grassland shaped by permafrost that extended from Europe to North America.

Archaeological finds show that early humans, including Neanderthals and Homo sapiens, hunted mammoths. They used spears and cooperated in groups to bring down the powerful animal. Traces of mammoth bones have been found in caves, where they served as raw material for tools. Wood and bone remains today provide insights into the lifestyle of our Stone Age ancestors.

While coloring the scene, you can imagine how these prehistoric communities organized their hunts and what skills were required to take down such a massive animal. If you are looking for more scenes from the Ice and Stone Ages, check out More coloring templates about prehistory.
