@steven_de_groot: A mammoth illustration with @Colossal Biosciences! Most mammoths disappeared around 10,000 years ago as the Ice Age ended. Scientists think their extinction resulted from a combination of climate warming, habitat changes, and overhunting. Luckily, because of the cold climate in Siberia, we have been able to find preserved hair, skin, stomach contents, and even traces of blood, giving scientists remarkable insight into their biology. Another great source of information is also found in prehistoric cave art, including paintings in places like Chauvet Cave and Rouffignac Cave. But the mammoth isn't just part of history; Colossal scientists are working to bring them back. Give @Colossal a follow for updates on mammoth de-extinction! . . #extinct #illustration #animal #extinction #colossal
