How the Woolly Mammoth or Siberian mammoth look a like ! 

Woolly Mammoth or Siberian mammoth are the extinct species of elephant found in fossil deposits in Europe, northern Asia, and North America. They lived in the Pleistocene and Holocene epochs (from about 2.6 million years ago to the present). The speciality of this woolly mammoth it is large in size and have fur with a imposing tusks. The species is named after the appearance of its long thick coat of fur.

The source said around 1650 B.C. this  group of woolly mammoths survived and lastly seen.

( That seen a dated back thousand years after the  Pyramids at Giza were built).Woolly mammoths  are likley to be the size of African elephants approx around 13 feet tall. Woolly mammoths weighed between 5,500 and 7,300 kg (between about 6 and 8 tons).

Significance of their body type  – THE WOOLLY MAMMOTH

When it comes to their body construction the woolly mammoths had much smaller ears, that small ear helps them for losing body heat. The lovely things about their body type that they are covered in two layers of fur – shaggy outer layer may be around 20 inches long and for that unique body feature they stay toasty in temperatures as low as minus 58°F.

These animals like to gazed  on plants by the help of their 15-foot-long  tusks to dig under snow for food like shrubs and grasses.They roamed in herds of about 15 individuals. 

Importance of having lump on the back – What the scientists believe! 

Another cute things comes when anyone talk about their body structure they had .a lump on their back like camel’s hump. For that special feature having lump on the back the scientists thinks the Woolly Mammoth or Siberian mammoth would store fat in that lump which gives them energy when food was scarce.

Why WOOLLY MAMMOTH extinct from the earth? 

But unfortunately, the Scientists  won’t know the exact fact why this woolly mammoths went extinct:. Some believes to think that human hunted them, so that is why they are aloof. And some believes they won’t survive due to climate changes like their body never led them to stay at warm climate. Or it can be both of it either human hunted for their benefits or the warm climate never led them to sustain anymore in this planet. 

THE BLOOD FALLS

Antarctica’s Mysterious Red Waterfall

Blood Falls is a very beautiful bright red waterfall gusing  from Antarctica’s ice. It’s nearly five storeys high, in the McMurdo Dry Valley region, one of the coldest and most inhospitable places on Earth.

While Antarctica is known for its pristine white snow cover, this part stands out for its blood red colour called as the Blood Falls, this unique circumsatnces  was first discovered by scientists as a frozen waterfall in 1911.

The secrets behind Antarctica’s mysterious red waterfall

Scientists had glanced that only a part of the cliff had been gone to dark red and the facts is unknown why it is gone to a side by dark one part of a cliff. 

The falls remained a mystery for the longest time, since one can spot the glacier melting at the surface of the cliff, despite the average temperatures being -17 degree celsius.

After much research, the factors behind the blood-red colour of the falls were discovered. It is seen about wo million years ago, the Taylor Glacier overshadowed its beneath it a small body of water, which is the home of an ancient community of microbes.

When  the tarpped water reacts with the oxygen outside the waterfalls change it colur to red and this lake water is highly saline and rich in iron, Same things happens when iron changes to drak colour when it rusts.
