A few weeks ago when it rained several inches a person my husband works with found a Woolly Mammoth tooth in a creek by his house. Woolly Mammoths lived during the last ice age and no longer exist - they are extinct. They are similar to the Indian Elephant but larger and have several adaptations for cold weather. They had thick shaggy hair to keep them warm and A LOT smaller ears than the Elephant to reduced heat loss.
This is not a picture of the tooth found in Brenham, but is very similar. Notice how large this tooth is! It is a flat molar used for grinding food.
Bonus question: You can look at the teeth of an animal and know what type of food they eat. What feeding type is a Woolly Mammoth? A Carnivore, Herbivore, Omnivore? Leave me a comment, use only your color group and initials.
