Mastodons: Extinct Elephant Relatives

Mammutids, or to give them their common name, Mastodons, were a successful family of Proboscideans that first diverged during the Late Oligocene in Africa. Possessing flatter skulls, shorter legs and longer torsos than modern elephants, Mastodons were animals that stuck to a mostly browsing ecological niche. Their molar teeth had tall peaked crowns which were used for crushing branches, leaves and twigs. During the Early Miocene, the group spread widely across Eurasia and North America, with the genus Mammut surviving in the latter region until the Pleistocene-Holocene boundary. A mixture of climate change and human hunting played a part in their extinction.

Yes, it’s so fascinating to think that until only relatively recently, most of the world sported charismatic assemblages of megafauna like of those of Africa and parts of Asia today. It’s also sobering to see megafauna becoming endangered or extinct there too, now, but then, human prosperity and biodiversity do seem to be at odds in many ways.

Humans are just too broken of a class, as Tier Zoo might say. We hunt the biggest prey first since it gives the best return on the investment from a calorie/energy viewpoint. Even if the climate hadn't driven them out we'd probably have eaten them all by now. Hell, we wipe out entire species on accident sometimes and even with armed guards and strict laws we cant stop hunting rhinos to death since some people think their fingernail "horns" can give you a boner. African megafuana exist today mainly because the areas they live in have fewer humans who were traditionally less texhmomgically advanced (most of the more advanced sub saharan civilizations were near rivers or the coast, while the savannahs were for scattered hunter gatherers).

I think they were probably as hairy as modern humans. some individuals were very shaggy, while others weren't, but they all had the same number of hair follicles, it just came down to their genetics on how long and how thick the hair would of been. kind of like how chimpanzees and humans have the same number of hair follicles.

The thing we ALWAYS forget about with De-extinction, is the habitats/environments/biomes these animals lived in. Many of these habitats are just as extinct as the animals that once lived in them. Especially with ice age megafauna: Many of these animals lived on the Mammoth Steppe, and the subsequent environments it created around it. At one time, this biome encompassed nearly 1/3 of the Earth's total landmass. Today, there are only sparse remnants left. If we want to bring back these animals with any real success and numbers, they have to have a sustainable place to live. And unfortunately many of those places are LONG gone.

We could've had elephant like creatures in North America, but nooooooooo, our ancestors just had to go kill crazy. Do you think mammoths and mastodons could've adapted to the heat? I think they had it in them, the Columbian mammoths didn't have much hair

Yes I definitely think they could have adapted to hotter conditions, essentially resembling modern elephants in the process.

In the early U.S it was actually speculated that they may have been still alive in the far west of the continent.
