As an interesting note, the mammoths at the Russian island were so few, there was heavy inbreeding and the genetic pool was all messed up. Their fur grew shaggy and unable to protect them from cold, and also had lots of growth and development issues.

@@johnnyjericho8472 the technical issue is for you to have a stable relationship in a species you need at least a five hundred individuals to a thousand. But they didn’t have the land or surface area for that surviving on a tiny island which served as the last bastion. It causes genetic mutations to appear and only the bad ones eventually causing their dna to mutate so severely that it couldn’t be salvaged. Its called a genetic meltdown because of the spiral it sends the species into. In many ways I think it could be considered a fate worse than death because all of the individuals inherited a genetic disease which none of them could escape. Over half the calves either died in the womb or came out with deformities which again made them suffer more.

I knew I would cry when you got to modern elephants, I love them so much

People always think only humans do deforestation. Mammoth and elephants are responsible for deforesting entire continents, but the did it the right way. While mammoths roamed Siberia they prevented the growth of forests so smaller plants could grow creating tundras and vast planes of moorlands. Those areas were responsible for a huge amount of oxygen production, a lot more than forests are. They were also greatly responsible for creating deserts. While that might seem a bad thing Elephants stayed in balance with their alterations made in the landscape. If there are too many elephants a food shortage makes them die off until there's enough food again to feed the survivors, that's something humans don't tend to do. Having met with elephants, I also don't want to live in a world without them. I love elephants and am very happy there are humans that try and save the elephant from extinction they play a very important part in the survival of our planet.
