COLD DARK ROOM

[johnandjade]

Hi, Adam!
All these wonderful posts on prehistoric animals has got me wondering (inspired by one of John's posts): Which of the prehistoric animals might have had nice soft fur or wool that I could make yarn for my crochet? The only one i can think of might be the Wooly Mammoth...

Speaking of which, what is the difference between a mammoth and a mastodon? They seem very similar...

snap!!!

Hi, Bea.
Soft furry megafauna.
Hmmm, woolly mammoth hair is a bit course and wiry.
Try woolly rhinoceros wool.
From the mane especially is very soft.

There were many species of mammoth.
Northern species were usually woolly.

And southern species not.

The mastodon is far more distantly related to modern elephants than the mammoth.

Though it looks similar it is biologically very different.
Many other types of elephant have existed.
I like Gomphotherium which had little tusks in the lower jaw too

Tradition.
And very silly people using feeble excuses for a dust up.
And I think Rangers will lose.
