Woolly mammoths
Woolly mammoths. Artists impression of a herd of woolly mammoths (Mammuthus sp.) during the peak of the ice age, 70, 000 to 10, 000 years ago. Woolly mammoths were large mammals which lived during the ice age and whose range included North America, Europe and Asia. Their tusks could exceed 3 metres in length. Closely related to the elephant, these animals have been found depicted in cave paintings featuring hunting scenes. The large mammoths went extinct some 10, 000 years ago with the retreat of the glaciers. Human predation is thought to have hastened their end

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an artist's impression of a majestic herd of woolly mammoths, roaming the Earth during the peak of the ice age, approximately 70,000 to 10,000 years ago. These incredible creatures were immense mammals that thrived in regions spanning North America, Europe, and Asia. With their tusks reaching astonishing lengths exceeding three meters, they commanded a powerful presence in their prehistoric world. Closely related to elephants, woolly mammoths have left lasting imprints on history and art. Cave paintings depicting hunting scenes often feature these magnificent beings. Sadly, the retreat of glaciers marked the end for these large mammals around 10,000 years ago. While human predation is believed to have played a role in their extinction, it was ultimately nature's course that sealed their fate. The image captures not only the sheer size and strength of these tusked giants but also serves as a reminder of our planet's rich paleontological past. It transports us back to an era when colossal creatures roamed icy landscapes during the Pleistocene epoch. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring artwork as a testament to our fascination with prehistoric animals and our desire to understand life before our time. Let this stunning illustration serve as a window into an ancient world where woolly mammoths reigned supreme – forever etched in both scientific study and artistic imagination.
