Woolly mammoths had several physical adaptations that helped them survive in cold environments. They possessed a thick layer of fat beneath their skin, which provided insulation against harsh temperatures. Their long, shaggy fur and a dense undercoat helped retain body heat, while their smaller ears reduced heat loss. Additionally, their long, curved tusks were used for foraging through snow and ice to access vegetation.
