Mammoths, like modern elephants, likely used their trunks to help clean themselves by swiping away dirt and debris from their skin. They may have also taken dust baths, rolling in mud or dust to protect their skin from parasites and sun exposure. Additionally, social grooming among herd members could have played a role in maintaining hygiene. Overall, their cleaning behaviors would have been similar to those of contemporary large herbivores.
