[79] Cold desert The cold deserts are called areas where less than 250 millimetres of rain per year and the average temperature in the warmest month is less than 10 degrees Celsius.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

[80] There are cold deserts in the high latitudes of both the south and north in areas drier than the tundra.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

Due to their low temperature and rainfall and long and dark winters, vegetation is scarce.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

Only a few flowering plants live in cold deserts, and these are mainly small hay and column plants.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

There are no trees and tall shrubs at all, and mosses and lichens form the main part of the vegetation.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

[81] Due to low vegetation in cold deserts, wind can shape environments in the same way as in deserts proper, and therefore cold deserts have similar topography.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

[82] However, cold deserts are not considered proper deserts, although they too have little rain and the vegetation cover is small.


Question: How many vegetation zones are classified?

Desert

Due to the low temperature, overall water evaporation is small, and therefore plants receive more water from snow meltwaters and rains than in hot deserts, where water evaporates from the soil considerably more.

Woolly Mammmoth

Consequently, mammoths weighed between three and six tons.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The woolly mammoth's back was slippery and tail short, measuring only 36cm, and had long hairs on its head probably for a fly swatter.

Woolly Mammmoth

The ears of the woolly mammoth were small and had an area of only 1/15 of the ears of an African elephant.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

[3] The tusks were generally 2.4—2.7 m long in the male and weighed 45kg [4], but may sometimes have been significantly larger.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The tusks needed for defence and digging food out from under the snow made the head heavy, so the neck supporting its weight had to be short.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

For this reason, the mammoth was unable to bow its head to the ground, but lifted the food into its mouth with the help of its proboscis.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

Of the existing elephant animals, the woolly mammoth most resembled a donkey elephant.

Although the preserved fur of mammoths is orange, this is probably a fade of dark brown or black.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The mammoth had thin-woolly, 2.5—8cm thick underfur and a coat of very thick barnacle-like hair [5].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The fur covered the entire body.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

Probably the mammoth swapped out the long winter coat described above, and the summer fur was presumably slightly shorter.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

All preserved frozen mammoths are winter fur [5] and probably died in autumn, and no specimens of summer fur have survived.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The mammoth had a skin 1 to 2 centimeters thick and a layer of fat between 8 and 10cm thick, which, however, was not such a good heat insulator as wool [1].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The oxygen-uptake capacity of the woolly mammoth's blood was probably better than that of existing elephants [6] [7] [8] [9] so that the animal would do better in the cold.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

A mammoth discovered on the islands of New Siberia in 2013 gave indications that the mammoth's blood, thanks to the natural antiicing agent contained in it, would have remained running at temperatures of up to 17 degrees below zero. [10] [11].

Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

In addition, mammoths ate flower plants, ferns, roots, and edible parts of trees [16].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The mammoth day meal was usually 135—300kg of various hay-like plants [13].

Woolly Mammmoth

According to more conservative estimates, the mammoth would have eaten only 180—250kg a day [17].

Woolly Mammmoth

The mammoth may have spent eating time up to more than 20 hours a day [18].

On the other hand, the woolly mammoth was able to take advantage of a fairly diverse diet.

Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

In addition, some buds of willow, birch, larch and alder were included [13].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

A significant amount of willow waste has been found in the “Jukagiri mammoth”, which lived during the warm periods of the Ice Age.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

Probably, the mammoth ate willow buds like many other animals in the spring, when the buds had low levels of poison.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

In addition, preserved mammoths have been found, among others, alpine anemones and lingonberries [16] In many mammoths of the Beringian region and the Americas, a moderately coloured plant of Cobresia, which is now grown in the alpine region and in the arid regions of Mongolia [19] Mm.

The habitat of the woolly mammoth The woolly mammoth lived on the glacial steppe and tundra, according to scientists [23], many times on riverbanks.

Woolly Mammmoth

The habitat was many times almost treeless and did not grow properly tall bushes either.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

Many mammoths found in Siberia probably lived in the rather swampy environment of the underlands where sedge and grasses grew [24], and few or no trees [25].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

Many times in the middle of the larch forest or shrub tundra there were river meadows and swamps [26], and further up the steppe or mountain vegetation.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Analysis of pollen and plant remains from mammoths found in eastern Siberia suggests a widespread medium-dry tundra meadow, not steppe, around 42000 years ago [27].

Better conditions for the mammoth would have been in northern Siberia earlier in the oxygen isotope stage 3 [37] around 35,000 to 30,000 years ago and particularly good 50,000—40,000 years ago when it was very warm and dry [36].

There has been much debate about how it was possible that mammoths lived on dry, cold and rather scarce yielding arotundra [44] [45] [46] [47].


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The arotundra was considered by some to be at least partly more productive and/or abundant than the current tundra due to, among other things, loess fertilization.


Question: What is the oldest known species of mammoth?

Woolly Mammmoth

The drier glacial arotundra was also widely warmer than the current tundra in summer, although it was colder in winter [47].

Another answer is that the mammoth moved over a remarkably large area seeking sustenance slightly in the manner of existing Namib semi-desert-adapted savannah elephants, or so-called “desert elephants,” taking advantage of oases that are more abundant than normal.
