Woolly mammoths are not as old as you think!

Woolly mammoths are not as old as you think!

Even though most of us relate Woolly mammoths with cavemen, they were still around here when the Egyptians were building the pyramids!

The woolly mammoth coexisted with early humans as most of you know, and those humans used their bones and tusks for making art, tools, and dwellings and even cook their food.

A small population of 500-1000 woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island until 1650 BC. That’s only about 4,000 years ago!

It is said that the last of them died 1000 years after the Giza pyramids were built. The reason for the demise of these species is still unknown.
