The American mastodon (''Mammut americanum'') is believed to have lived in [[North America]] until about 10,000 years ago and belonged to the last members of a whole group of primitive mammals, reaching a shoulder height of about 8 feet and wearing a coat of thick hair to adapt to the cool-to-cold climate. The two tusks were clearly swung upwards. It has been found in numerous sites in [[Canada]] and the [[USA]], but also by some sites in [[Central America]], such as finds from [[Mexico]] and [[Honduras]].

[[Creation science]] states that mastodons were created by an act of [[God]] during the [[Creation Week]], between 4000-8000 BC; [[fossil]] remains found embedded within [[sedimentary rock]] were those animals which died during the [[Great Flood]].
