People usually mean wooly-mammoth compared to modern African elephants

Here is it compared to the average African elephant

Here is the wooly-mammoth compared to the largest African elephant (over 11 tones)

What the fuck I thought they were way bigger than current elephants

Fuck you media

>>2206595
this as well
>It disappeared from its mainland range at the end of the Pleistocene 10,000 years ago, most likely through climate change and consequent shrinkage of its habitat, hunting by humans, or a combination of the two. Isolated populations survived on St. Paul Island until 5,600 years ago and Wrangel Island until 4,000 years ago.

Comparing an average sized wooly mammoth to the largest african elephant doesn't seem very accurate.

11 tons? Where are you getting that number from?

>>2206751
Agreed. Their maximum masses are basically equal, so really they are around the same size

>>2206751
Assuming that is the average mammoth and not the largest...

>>2206397
I think Columbian and steppe mammoths were larger but I also think they weren't fuzzy so not sure if that counts for you.

Also keep in mind the largest African elephants are adult bulls, which are loners so if mammoths were the same they could be slightly harder to find if they didn't die in tar pits or just froze over.

There were fuckhuge mammoths larger than modern elephants (the steppe mammoth, for example) but the woolly mammoth wasn't one of them

interestingly, the largest proboscidean to ever live wasn't even a mammoth, but still an elephant. Asian straight-tusked elephant (Palaeoloxodon namadicus) was absolutely fucknormous.
