Woolly mammoths were presumably around 4 meters tall, the size of African elephants. However, the smaller ears of woolly mammoths prevented them from losing body heat. Mammoths had two coats of hair covering them as well; the longer, shaggy outer layer could reach up to 56cm in length and kept them warm in temperatures as low as -15C. Similar to a camel's hump, scientists believe the lumps on the backs of #woolly mammoths were fat reserves that supplied energy during times of food scarcity.
