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... Excerpted from Woolly Mammoth All rights reserved by the original copyright owners.
