The mamoth is a relative to the mourned elephant. Like many other ice age mamles the mamoth became exotict more than 11,000 years ago. The cave lion was an extremely huge predator, a kind of mix between lion and tiger. Mammoths and sabrer- toothed cats did live at the time as the stone age people and the cave bears . Like morden day big cats sabre- tooth tiger had a stong built body but stoker than modern day cats . Alesha

the last ice age . Mammoth lived up to 60 to 80 years . Mammoths ate leaves
, bushus and willow fir .They ate about 700 pounds of grass and leaves each day. Alesha
The saber-toothed tiger lived 1.6 million years ago it had long canines.It was 440 pounds and was about 3 feet tall.It was a bit smaller than the modern-day lions (panthera leo),but much heavier and had a short tail. Saber-toothed tigers lived in North and South America.It was found in the grasslands in shrubby areas.They were named after big skeletons. Researchers have wondered how the saber-toothed tiger used there canines to kill there prey.Its hunting strategy may have been to mortally wound its prey with its sharp teeth probably in the belly and let the victim to bleed. It became extint in the quanternary period which means the end of the dinosaur period.The major climate changes during that time probably led to their extinction. Saber-toothed tigers ate thick skinned food like mastodons.It also ate elephants,horses and bisons.It was probally the heaviest stone age cat.

Saber Tooth Tiger
ReplyDeletePopular name for prehistoric member of the cat family (Felidae) that existed from the Oligocene period to the Pleistocene period.It had extremely long canine teeth adapted to killing large herbivores.
It is a distant relative of modern cheetah,tiger and lion.It must have been quite funny to see a saber tooth tiger take a bite of its meal.It could opens its jaws at an angle of 120 degrees.These mammals were carnivorous and fed on prehistoric deer,horses,giant sloths,bison and buffaloes.
Based on the fossils found in La Brea tar pits,paleontologist believe the saber tooth tiger was about a foot shorter than the modern lions,but was about twice as heavy as the lions.In addition,it is believed,front and hind legs were of similar lengths and had retractable claws.
Unfortunately,the color of the saber tooth tiger is not known,but it is believed it must have been similar in color to modern day lions living in Africa.
In modern geography, the saber tooth tiger thrived in North and South America.

There are lots of pieces of information here. Next week please try to write some of the sentences in your own words.
DeleteLike many other Ice Age mammals, the mammoth became extinct more than 11,000 years ago. Did you now that the size of a mammoth is 9-14 feet (3.5) meters at the shoulder. The mammoth is a relation ship to the elephants. In Hot Springs, South Dakota, where a dry sinkhole claimed the lives of mammoths and other Ice Age animals 26,000 years ago. Mammoth have been found in the mainland of the United States at the end of the last Ice Age. But some of the remains of mammoths have been found in Europe, Asia and North America.

These mammoth facts are very interesting!
DeleteThe tusks of a wooly mammoth were up to 15 feet long. Males with longer, curvier more impressive tusks had the opportunity to mate with more females. The tusks may also have been used to fight off hungry saber-tooth tigers.
ReplyDeleteFemales averaged 2.6–2.9 metres in height and weighed up to 4 tonnes. Woolly mammoths would have eaten similar vegetation to modern-day elephants, browsing the forests for leaves, fruits, nuts, twigs and berries. Woolly mammoths are thought to have had quite a long lifespan, getting to an average of 70 years old.

Woolly mammoth is a large elephant like animal that was much bigger than a modern elephant.It had curved tusks and was one of the most feared animal during stone age. The tusks help researcher to identify the age of the animal at the time of death.Just like a tree ,a cross section of a tusk reveal growth ring that reveal an animal's age.Mammoths were herbivores.They ate leaves,bushes and willow.They ate about 700 pounds of grass,leaves each day.They waited about 6-Tons.Their life span was up to between 60 and 80 years.
The word mammoth comes from 2 words from the Estonian language ''maa''means earth and ''mutt''means mole.Estonian is a country near Russia where farmer found gigantic bones in there fields.thought that the bones belonged to huge burrowing animal.Mammoths died and were trapped in ice which preserved them.Some parts of the world are still cold and still hold preserved mammoths.

ReplyDeleteStone Age Animal
classification:
The Mammoth is a relative to the modern elephants. Like many other Ice age mammals the mammoth had been extinct 11,000 years ago.Elephants are the largest living mammals.
They have been more than 500 different kinds of elephants on earth
at different times of the last 55 million years.Only the African and Asian(Indian) elephant remain alive today.
Where were they:
Remains of mammoths have been found in Europe,Asia and North America. Three species of mammoths (genus Mammuthus) lived on the mainland of the United States at the end of the last Ice Age. These were the Columbian mammoth, Jefferson's mammoth and the woolly mammoth.
Brief details:
The mammoths size was 9-14 feet (3.5) meters at the shoulder.Its teeth was special with ridges, grew 5 or 6 sets in their life, had no enamel, added a growth ring every year.Their life span was up to between 60 and 80 years.The age of the mammoths are identified by their tusks.Female tusks grew to 5-6 feet, male tusks grew to 8 or 9 feet. Just like a tree, a cross section of a tusk reveals growth rings that reveal an animal's age.

I like the use of Sub - headings!
DeleteHow do we know about the mammoths?
ReplyDeleteWe know about many animals that lived in the past from fossil remains. But with woolly mammoths, whole animals have been found. During the Ice Age, mammoths died and were trapped in ice which preserved them. Some parts of the world are still cold, and still hold the preserved mammoths. By Mushtaq
Super use of the word 'preserved'!
DeleteA sabre-toothed tiger
ReplyDeleteSabre-toothed tiger is any member of various extinct
groups of predatory mammals that were long,curved
sabre-shaped caine teeth.Extended from the mouth even when it
was was closed.the sabre toothed tigger died after 42 million years!BY ITQUAN
A nice definition here, Itquan!
DeleteStone Age creatures are woolly mammoths, saber toothed tiger, lions, mega bears and hyenas. There were also lots of other sea creatures and lots of birds and creatures that could fly. All the cave paintings help to prove the evidence of these ancient living beings. Stone age animals were very clever because they could always snif food that they were searching for. Stone age animals found there food by there sences. Like if they could hear there pray or if they could see there pray. Stone age animals lived in caves or got long pieces of stick and atached them to form a house. They are always out and about running or searching for food . A woolly mammoth was rouphly the same size as a africian elephant. The ears of a woolly mammoths are smaller then the ears of a modern elephant. Woolly mammoths are not the only type of woolly animals.
