More About Mammoths

Mammoths lived a long time ago. They roamed the earth with other big animals. They were here for many years. But then, they all went away.

Mammoths are important to us. They help us learn about the past. We find their bones and fur in the ground. This helps us know how they lived.

Some people think we can bring them back! They want to use science to make new mammoths. That would be cool!
