Best Answer

Mammoths looked similar to elephants except for a few differences:

  • They had very long, curved tusks that curved inwards.
  • They usually had long brown hair for insulation, although some mammoths such as the Columbian Mammoth are thought to have had little hair.
  • They had tiny ears compared to modern elephants.
  • They had longer forelimbs than hind limbs. While modern elephants have relatively equal length limbs and a mostly level back, mammoths did not.
  • They usually had a much larger shoulder hump.
