Their teeth were high-crowned molars, as opposed to their contemporaries the [[mastodon]]s, which had nipple-like features. Their tusks were long and curved inwards. Body hair, reddish-brown in woolly mammoths (''M. primigenius''), is known from the excellent cave paintings of Spain and France, as well as frozen individuals found in the Siberian and Alaskan permafrosts.

==Origins==
According to [[Baraminology]], mammoths were part of the elephant [[Holobaramin]] and were descended from the two [[elephant]]s present on [[Noah's Ark]]. Mammoths were therefore represent descendents the two survivors of the Flood, which migrated to various parts of the world. The long hair and other minor anatomical features that separate mammoths from living [[elephant]]s are adaptations to local environments, predicted from [[Baramin]] theory.
