Size comparison: woolly mammoth vs human

Size comparison between woolly mammoth and human.

The animal closest to the woolly mammoth today is the Asian elephant. He lived until less than 4,000 years ago. Like the elephant, it is part of the Elephantidae family. He appeared from the steppe mammoth. This animal fed mainly on grass and sedges.

We notice that he lived longer than the man. Several projects are underway to try to revive the woolly mammoth, despite its DNA being very degraded.
