The Woolly Mammoth is a large prehistoric mammal from North America and Eurasia. It is an adoptable animal in all three Wildlife Park games.
Description[]
The woolly mammoth is one of the last known species of the genus Mammuthus and is closely related to modern elephants. Males could reach a size of 3.4m (11.2ft) tall at the shoulder, a similar size to the African Elephant, although it was relatively small compared to other species of mammoth. Like most mammoths, it featured large curving tusks which both males and females possessed, as well as a coat of thick fur which served as an adaptation against the cold climate of its Ice Age environment. Woolly mammoth fur is known to have been brown in color, with dark and light variations known.
The woolly mammoth lived across Eurasia and North America until between 10000 and 4000 years ago, on the "Mammoth Steppes" that were common at the time. Like modern elephants, females would have lived in large family-herds whilst males were largely solitary. It ate grass and sedges, and would have used its trunk and large tusks for foraging and manipulating food, as well as fighting. One of the most well-known extinct animals, the woolly mammoth, like many large Ice Age animals, is believed to have gone extinct due to a combination of climate change and overhunting by humans.
Wildlife Park[]
The woolly mammoth is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park and was added as part of the Wild Creatures expansion pack. Like all extinct animals, it cannot be adopted until it is bred back through another animal. The woolly mammoth is bred back through the Indian Elephant, its closest living relative.
The woolly mammoth is the focus of the first scenario of Wild Creatures, where the player must collect DNA from a dead mammoth and breed an individual back from a female elephant.

The woolly mammoth is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 2 and is available in the base game.

Wildlife Park 3[]
The woolly mammoth is an adoptable animal in Wildlife Park 3 and is available in the base game. Each adopted individual comes with a pair of distinct tusks that is randomized: long, angled, bent, severed, swiveled. Their daily food and enrichment necessities include leaves, grass, water, scratching and wallowing (mud). They can live individually, with 10 as the maximum herd number.
Black Mammoth[]
Compared to their normal kinds, this variant has a higher price. Their needs remain the same nonetheless.
Diseases[]
These are the list of diseases that the said animal can suffer from:
AHS | Anixety | Apathy | Babesiosis |
Bronchitis | Caries | Conjunctivitis | Cut |
Deficiency | Dehydration | Diarrhea | Eczema |
Gangrene | Gastric Ulcer | Iodine Deficiency | Mesostigmata |
Splinter | Tuberculosis | Vasculitis | Wry Neck |

Trivia[]
- The woolly mammoth is one of only two extinct animals, the other being Velociraptor, to be adoptable in all three Wildlife Park games.
- The black mammoth color variant in Wildlife Park 3 resembles a Columbian mammoth. Studies have shown that the Columbian mammoth is a hybrid species between woolly mammoths and a currently-unidentified species.
