- W68758110 abstract "This article deals exclusively with the morphological characteristics of the mammoth. A detailed summary is given of the present knowledge of mammoth features which could result from adaptation to the arctic steppe environment. Some morphological characteristics, among them, for example, the fat hump, the flap at the tail base, etc., are critically discussed, although these features are not assumed to be adaptive. However, most of the mammoth features analyzed here are adaptive and indicate: 1) Protection against the cold air and wind from the double-coated fur (long outer hair and thick underwool) covering the whole body, including the trunk, ears, tail, and limbs, and from the thick layer of subcutaneous fat. 2) Prevention of the loss of body heat by small ears entirely covered with hair. 3) The ability of the mammoth to deal with tundra vegetation due to its relatively long body and short limbs; the special structure of the tip of its trunk, high molars and great number of dental plates; and enlarged twisted tusks. 4) Its advantage in marshy summer pastures because of its broad feet and relatively small body size (compared with that of the mammoth's ancestors). Another important subject mentioned is the role of physiological mechanisms, which undoubtedly were also significant in the adaptation of the woolly mammoth to the cold climate." @default.
