Mammoths - Giants of the Ice Age
Ойын-сауық
Essequibo, Hidden River - Extra Long Documentary: • Essequibo: Hidden Rive...
15,000 years ago our planet was inhabited by millions of mammoths. Their ancestors headed north from the savannas of Africa in a much earlier epoch and spread out over large portions of the globe. This migratory movement began in a warmer climatic phase, so when the Ice Age began the creatures were forced to perform one of the greatest feats of adaptation in the history of the earth. Dick Mol, the world-famous expert on mammoths, traces the original mammoths back to Namibia, trawls the bottom of the North Sea for mammoth fossils and, with the help of gold-diggers in northern Canada, digs up perfectly preserved mammoth bones from the permafrost.

My favorite Ice Age critters are still sabertooth cats but I loved finding mammoth fossils here in Florida. We don't have bones of the Whooly Mammoth but many Columbian Mammoth fossils. I was fortunate enough to work on several fossils sites comtaing these giants of the Pleistocene mega fauna and I also love studying the fossils of their cousins the Gomphotheres and mastodons. I recently spoke with Dr. Daniel Fisher at the University of Michigan about his latest research on Mammoth specimens from Siberia. This research is bringing to the public a greater awareness of these giants biology and life styles. Very excellent video.

There is no such thing as a "wooly" mammoth. Which you would know if you find mammoth fossils in Florida. The mammoths at the North pole didn't have wool but merely light hair. They died frozen to death when the temperature dropped hundreds of degrees very rapidly. They were still standing up and some with food in their mouths. They froze so fast that they didn't have time to fall over. They just died. Look up Walt Brown's book, "In the Beginning".

@wackoguywatch carbon dating isn't used on fossils or specimens older than about 10,000 years. There are 3 other types of radiometric dating that all correlate and give similar ages despite all having wildly different half-lives; there's uranium-lead dating, potassium-argon dating and rubidium-strontium dating. I suggest you actually read up on the actual science of radiometric dating before making such baseless assumptions.

You hear of lots of theories about the Grand Canyon and I think they are wrong in some ideas about a great Ice dam breaking and it washed all the dirt away. I believe that America was covered in ice because it was in a different position as the earth was tilted differently. It was during this very early time that the canyons were formed and they filled with ice so they couldn`t fill with anything and about 12,000 years ago the earth was hit with a comet large enough to change it`s tilt and that when the Grand Canyon opened up like it is now. I think several such things has made the earth change its tilt in the last million years or so.

So my understanding of Mammoths slowly transition from ice age to warmth climate and also assisted in the "forestation process" of our existing planet since they travel long lengths south they follow their own trails. I find very instering that by having very tough disgestive system mammoths were able to sustain through out time and once they lost teeth were off to starve and die which it's also sad.

My moms uncle who died in 1994 had what I believe was a Mammoth tusk he found in southern Minnesota in an area that later became a park. It was very straight and about 8 feet long. It was in a round clear tube when I saw it in 1994 and the surface was flaking like an old bar of soap left outside of a package for several years. He had a $10,000 tag on it as he had been trying to sell it for too much for years or decades. I saw it after he passed away and his son said that it was going to be donated to a museum.

A prehistoric elephant is any member of Elephantidae that is extinct, modern elephants are a paraphyletic group because prehistoric elephants are nestled within lineages that include modern elephants, asian elephants (genus Elephas) are more closely related to both mammoths (genus Mammuthus) and straight-risked elephants (genus Palaeoloxodon) than they are to african elephants (genus Loxodonta), african elephants are a basal genus within the subfamily Elephantinae (True Elephants), the four-tusked elephants (genus Primelephas) are the only known members of the subfamily Primelephantinae, mammoths are officially counted as elephants because they are part of Elephantidae.

Wow. It's so great that they find these fossils when they just happen to have a camera man around to film it.
The Ice Age started 2.75m years ago. Within this period there were numerous glacial and inter-glacial periods. The previous interglacial period, the Eemian, was about 125,000 years ago. If we are going to call the period from the Eemian to the start of the present warm (inter-glacial) period and ice age, we need another name for the 2.75m year period in which there were numerous warm and cold periods.
You know it'll be great, amazing nice to see mammoths walking around again, but bringing one back on it's own will be sad cause they all walk in groups cause their family it'll be different if you'd be able to make a female and male, but to be honest It'll be also great finding out why they died to
