Woolly mammoth (SciiFii)

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is a species of large elephant native throughout Europe, Russia, Canada, and northern United States. It was once extinct, but has since been brought back from extinction by SciiFii and was reintroduced by SciiFii's conservationists to boost biodiversity, to allow extinct animals to retain their own ecological niches, and, in the case of some animals like woolly mammoths, to help mitigate global warming. The woolly mammoth is the largest known land mammals of the tundra ecosystems alive today, larger than an Asian elephant in size, about 10 feet tall at the shoulder height and weight about 8 tons, although African elephants are still bigger than woolly mammoths. It is a herbivore that mainly feeds on grasses, shrubs, and some leaves, but can occasionally feast on branches in times of hardship. It is a social herd-dwelling animal, with adult females as well as young males and females living together, which are leaded by the matriarch (female leader), but bull male woolly mammoths live in mostly solitary lives unless it is breeding seasons, when males have musth and males find suitable females to mate with. The conservation status of the woolly mammoth is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts.
