Columbian Mammoth
Columbian mammoths were perhaps the largest mammoths. They had enormous tusks that grew in a twisted, spiraling pattern. They probably used their tusks to compete for mates and intimidate rivals.
Mammoths were elephants that probably evolved from gomphotheres. Originally from Africa, mammoths migrated into Europe, Asia, and North America several times during the Pleistocene.

Something to chew on
Mammoths and mastodons were only distantly related – both had trunks and tusks, but their back teeth were very different. The shape and structure of animals’ teeth tell us about the food they eat. Mammoths and mastodons ate different kinds of plants.
Mastodons ate mainly leaves and twigs – they were browsers. Rounded bumps, called cusps, mashed the food when the teeth came together.
Like modern elephants, mammoths were mainly grass eaters – grazers. As the upper and lower teeth slid past each other, sharp enamel ridges shredded the food.

Pleistocene Community
An Ice Age Community in Decline
The Pleistocene is characterized by the disappearance of many previously common mammal groups. Camels and horses – both of which evolved in North America – went extinct, but some species survived elsewhere. Other "megafauna" such as ground sloths, mastodons, and giant beavers also went extinct.
While many of these extinctions may be linked to the dramatic changes in climate and vegetation that occured during the Ice Age, the arrival of humans into North America also contributed to the loss of these animals.

Quaternary Period Pleistocene Community
Oklahoma was never covered by glaciers, but at times the climate was cooler than today. The landscape resembled a rough savanna – mostly grassland with scattered trees and shrubs.
