Translated from the Finnish word "mammoth" means "earth mole". The name comes from a legend about supernatural beings Sihirti.

Here is another very interesting evidence. During the famous expedition of Yermak in Siberia in a dense taiga his men saw huge hairy elephants. Until now, experts are at loss: who met the vigilantes? Because these elephants while in Russia, already knew. They were held not only in the royal menagerie, but also in the courts of some of the governor.

In the Ice Age in Siberia, lived a very unusual species. Many of them are now no longer on Earth. The largest of these was a mammoth.

Musing on the great, extinct behemoth that was the Woolly Mammoth.
