Could Mammoths Survive the Mesozoic?

Could Mammoths Survive the Mesozoic?

The Mesozoic era spanned the time from around 250 million years ago until 66 million years ago. It included the more famous Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. During this time, the supercontinent Pangaea began breaking up and the modern-day continents moved into their current locations. It was a time when reptilians ruled the world, characterized mostly by the dinosaurs and flying reptiles. There was a huge amount of change to life on Earth. The geography of the planet changed enormously through this period and as a result, the climate and subsequent animal and plant life transformed.
At the beginning of the Mesozoic era, there were no mammals on Earth. But it wasn't long before the very first mammalians appeared. These were mostly shrew-like animals, small and insignificant in a land of reptilian giants. But they would grow and evolve into some of the most diverse creatures on the planet.
Today we ask the question, could mammoths have survived the Mesozoic?

Mammoths are elephants that constitute the genus Mammuthus, they had diversified since the early Pliocene, there are over twelve known mammoth species, the Cape Mammoth (Mammuthus subplanifrons), the North African Mammoth (Mammuthus africanavus), the Sardinian Mammoth (Mammuthus lamarmorai), the Cretan Dwarf Mammoth (Mammuthus creticus), the Southern Mammoth (Mammuthus meridionalis), the Romanian Mammoth (Mammuthus rumanus), the Woolly Mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius), the Steppe Mammoth (Mammuthus trogontherii), the Jefferson's Mammoth (Mammuthus jeffersonii), the Columbian Mammoth (Mammuthus columbi), the Imperial Mammoth (Mammuthus imperator), and the Channel Island Mammoth (Mammuthus exilis).

Just to let everyone know, not all mammoths are hairy, only the woolly mammoth and steppe mammoth were truly hairy.

This is a minor correction but you say there were bigger and more ferocious dinosaurs than T-Rex. However Tyrannosaurus Rex was actually the biggest Carnivorous Dinosaur. It could get around 11 tons and recent findings are showing that it could have gotten even bigger than this. While there are some Therapods that were slightly longer than the Tyrannosaurus or slightly taller. Tyrannosaurus was much bigger and more robust. While dinosaurs that are commonly called "bigger than the tyrannosaurus" like Giganotosaurus are theorized to weigh from 6 to 8 tons significantly less massive. Tyrannosaurus also had the most powerful bite of any Terrestrial animal to ever live at 35, 000 newtons.

Could you please do a video on could warthogs survive in the amazon rainforest?

[josephphoenix]

Some lived on an island in the north of Siberia until relatively recently 🤔(several hundred years)

I would like to see wooly mammoths survive in our modern world maybe away from humans

Could Smilodon Have Survived the Mesozoic?

[ericfaut]

Also, I don't think they would've been able to survive that time because it would've been too hot for them!

[JuanEnriqueFloresJr]

Could trilobites have survived during the Mesozoic? How about nowadays?

[indyreno]

Can you do a video on could bison survive in Africa?

[tommymessinaiii]

It's impossible; dinosaurs have already died out long before mammoths evolved.

[austinhughes]

It sounds like the mammoths.Basically would’ve been sitting ducks.

Did you know that mammoths (genus Mammuthus) are more advanced than african elephants (genus Loxodonta)?
