Columbian mammoth — size comparison — facts and sources

The Columbian mammoth was an American mammoth adapted to warmer conditions than the woolly mammoth. The illustration therefore shows a sparser, interpretative coat. It was a North American herbivore.

NPS Waco also describes this lineage’s complex genetic history, including mixing between ancient mammoth populations. Without frozen mummies, its external appearance is less directly documented than the woolly mammoth’s.

NPS Waco podaje zakres około 3,7–4,3 m wysokości w barkach. Punkt 4 m jest środkiem tego zakresu, nie osobnym pomiarem konkretnego szkieletu ani maksymalną wysokością gatunku. Brak zamrożonych mumii ogranicza pewność odtworzenia okrywy. Postawa i ujęcie przednie są przybliżone. Ilustracja nie jest fotografią ani pomiarem żywego osobnika.
