Summary

What was life like for the woolly mammoth, who roamed the Earth starting over 100,000 years ago? What did these big shaggy beasts eat? Did they have enemies? Did they have families? Did they have fun? In this book, Mick Manning and Brita Granström show that woolly mammoths were the powerhouses of their time, braving terrible climates and fending off natural predators, the most terrifying of which were human beings! These fascinating creatures appear in their natural habitat, grazing, fighting, and even relaxing and playing with their mates and offspring. Fact-checked by mammoth expert Professor Adrian Lister, the book highlights the latest discoveries about the species and includes a glossary, an illustrative fact strip, and a geological timeline. The authors’ trademark poetic text and vibrant illustrations bring the beasts to life for young readers.

Excerpts

Like all baby mammals, mammoth calves fed on their mothers' milk.

Mammoths were 'grown up' at about 15 years old.

In 2007, the 'freeze-dried' body of a baby mammoth was found in Siberia. She died about 35,000 years ago - perhaps by slipping into an icy pool.



A mammoth calf is unbelievably cute.

It thinks life is just a hoot!

Feet sliding! Ears flapping! Trunk feeling,

Trumpeting and squealing!

A mammoth calf is always ready to play.

However bleak dawns the day...
