It was one of the largest members of the family Elephantidae, with males reaching heights of up to 4 meters (13 feet) at the shoulders and weighing up to 12 metric tons (13 short tons). The species is believed to have gone extinct around 11,000 years ago, possibly due to a combination of climate change and human hunting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Columbian mammoth had long, curved tusks that could reach lengths of up to 4 meters (13 feet) and were used for defense, foraging, and fighting other males during mating season. Its thick fur helped it survive in cold climates, and its large size allowed it to browse on high branches and reach vegetation that other herbivores could not.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFossils of Mammuthus columbi have been found throughout North America, from Alaska to Mexico.
