A 2019 study found that woolly mammoth ivory was the most suitable bony material for producing big game projectile points during the Late Pleistocene. To process the ivory, the large tusks had to be chopped, chiseled, and split into smaller, more manageable pieces.
Throughout mammoth evolution in Eurasia, their diet shifted towards mixed feeding-grazing in M. trogontherii, culminating in the woolly mammoth, which was largely a grazer, with stomach contents of woolly mammoths suggesting that they largely fed on grass and forbs. M. columbi is thought to have been a mixed feeder. [33]

Because mammoth DNA is a 99.6 percent match to the DNA of the Asian elephant, Colossal believes that gene editing can eventually create an embryo of a woolly mammoth. The eventual goal is to ...

The woolly mammoth hasn't roamed the planet for thousands of years, but that could soon change. A team of scientists has gotten one large step closer to resurrecting the shaggy species.
