Saru Posted May 9, 2012 #1 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Mammoths the size of a baby elephant once roamed the Greek island of Crete. The smallest mammoth ever known to have existed roamed the island of Crete millions of years ago, researchers say. Adults were roughly the size of a modern baby elephant, standing over a metre tall at the shoulders. Remains were discovered more than a century ago, but scientists had debated whether the animal was a mammoth or an ancient elephant. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-18003093 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dharma warrior Posted May 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Isn't "tiny mammoth" a bit of an oxymoron? Like jumbo shrimp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
