Discovering the Siberian Mammoth: This is the general picture of the woolly mammoth, the Ice Age creature, which everybody grew up with in the Fred Flintstone cartoon. Is this an accurate picture of this extinct elephant? No, is the answer. Mammoths have intrigued mankind for centuries and limited knowledge has led to a lot of persistent myths and tales. As scientists are studying this phenomenon intensely, more and more questions are answered and a lot of tales are set straight. In this book we narrate what we do know about mammoths now and how we know. We will address questions such as:

Was the woolly mammoth really as big as often assumed? Where did mammoths come from? Why did the animal become extinct? What was the environment and climate really like at the time of the mammoth? Can Mammoths be cloned? Why would it be useful to learn more about this extinct elephant?

The answers in this booklet are based on the fossil record gathered by paleontologists. Palaeontologists are scientists who study ancient life on earth. Many topics are unsolved, and lots of things are yet to be discovered. That makes the story of Discovering the Siberian Mammoth exciting.
