MastodonMammut americanum
It was a very ancient elephant and a distant relative of the
Woolly Mammoth.
They were browsers that ate leaves, twigs, and smaller plant vegetation. Their fossils are very common in Florida, more so than Mammoths. They were a heavier, stouter built elephant with a low sloping head and neck. They lived in warmer lowland environments and Ice Age spruce forests.
Their tusks were very straight, some reaching 15ft (5M) in length and not to be confused with the curved mammoth tusks.
They could reach 9 ft (2.75M) in height at the shoulder with a length of about 15 ft and weighing in somewhere between 8 and 12,000 lbs. There is some evidence that they may have had seasonal migration routes in search of food.
