Items related to Mammoths
12 feet tall, weighing six tons, covered with long, shaggy fur and carrying tusks up to 11 feet long, the mammoth roamed the Earth six million years ago. The frozen carcasses which lay buried in Siberia are spectacularly intact, including the skin, blood corpuscles and stomach contents. The story of these long-extinct Ice Age mammals, which coexisted with humans for about 40,000 years, is reconstructed in this book with the help of geologists, archaeologists, biologists, anthropologists and art historians. The book is illustrated throughout with photographs of remains, French and Russian cave paintings, and artworks.
