Mammuthus Exilis
Mammuthus exilis
, pygmy mammoth, was a dwarfed descendant of full-sized mammoths, possibly
Mammuthus columbi
, the Columbian mammoth.
M. exilis
lived on the northern
Channel Islands of California
of
Santa Cruz Island
,
Santa Rosa Island
, and
San Miguel Island
. The ancestral mammoth probably swam across the
Santa Barbara Channel
about 20,000 years BP. At the time, these three islands, along with
Anacapa Island
formed a single land mass known as
Santa Rosae
.
M. exilis
stood about 120-240cm (4-8 feet) high at the shoulder.
