MAMMOTH BONES WERE FOUND!!The bones were found in a cave on Alaska. It was a isolated island called the Pribilof Islands. The bones date to around 5,700 years ago - at least 2,200 years younger than any other known North American mammoth. Some say that humans were the cause of the extinction of these giant animals. Mammoths died out on mainland Alaska around 11,500 years ago. But they are known to have lived longer somewhere else. Last year, other Mammoth bones were found on St. Paul Island that was reported to be 7,900 years old. On Wrangel Island, near Siberia, another Mammoth bones were found that was more then 3,700 years old. Most of these island mammoths, including the St Paul animals, were smaller than normal - . "The animals may have shrunk in size as the island itself shrank, losing ground as sea levels rose after the end of the last ice age". said Crossen. I think that Mammoths were living longer, until our early ancestors killed the mammoths. Finding a frozen Mammoth with blood or something, could possibly let us humans to clone a Mammoth.
