Mammoths, or members of the genus Mammuthus, were close relatives of modern-day elephants. In fact, the Asian elephant is considered to be more closely related to mammoths than to the African elephants. The first mammoths appeared in southern Africa 5 million years ago, while the last survived until around 1650 BCE on Wrangel Island, a small island off of Siberia near the Bering Strait. While some species, like the Columbian mammoth from mainland North America, could reach 4 meters at the shoulder and weigh 10 tons, most were comparable in size to Asian elephants (3 meters at the shoulder and usually less than 5 tons).
