A team of Russian scientists has challenged the theory that the woolly mammoths became extinct 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age The scientists have reported that the beasts may have survived until 2000 BC on an island off the coast of Siberia, where researchers uncovered 29 fossilized woolly mammooth teeth ranging in age from 4,000 to 7,000 years The question to be asked now is, how did these prehistoric pachyderms survive in their island environment? One possibility is that they adapted to their confined surroundings by decreasing their bulk This theory is based on their smaller tooth size, which has led scientists to believe that they were only six feet tall at the shoulder, compared with ten feet of their full-sized counterpart But would this be enough to enable them to survive thousands of years beyond that of other mammoths?
