Mammoth & Elephants vs. Mastodons
Columbian Mammoth (M. columbi)
American Mastodon (Mammut americanum)
Elephants and mammoths have high skulls, while mastodons have low skulls.
Elephants and mammoths have low, highly enfolded teeth for grazing, while mastodons have high crested teeth for browsing leaves.
Elephants and mammoths are tall, while mastodons are shorter with more massive bodies.
