There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Without a doubt, mammoths and mastodons were not on the grizzly's prey list; but they were on his menu. No grizzly is going to ignore a carcass of mammoth proportions.

Ice Age Mammals by Ian M. Lange.

Elephants and Their Relatives - Order Proboscidea.

American Mastodon ( Mammut americanum ). The American mastodon had shorter legs and was more heavily muscled than mammoths and also had a longer body than woolly mammoths did. He stood roughly 10 feet high and weighed up to 8 tons with tusks measuring up to 9 feet long.

The southern mammoth ( Mammuthus meridionalis ) stood roughly 12 feet high and weighed about 10 tons.

The Columbian mammoth ( Mammuthus imperator ) stood from 12 to 13 feet high with tusks measuring up to 13 feet long.

Jefferson's mammoth ( Mammuthus jeffersonii ) stood about 11 feet high.

The woolly mammoth ( Mammuthus primigenius ) attained a shoulder height of up to 14 feet and weighed as much as 10 tons.
