Trivia: The age of a woolly mammoth can be determined by examining what?
Fur
Tusks
Hooves
Ears
The correct answer is Tusks
So why is this answer correct? : Recovered ancient tusks are an excellent tool for learning about the lives of woolly mammoths. However, it’s not the tusks’ length that clues scientists in — it’s their rings. Much like in the trunk of a tree, interior lines can tell us about the animals’ lifespan and health, even lending clues to weather conditions of the time.
