     Elephants are the largest living animals 1            land. More than 500 different kinds of elephants have
been found on earth during the 2            55 million years. Only two kinds are 3            alive today. The
African Elephant and the Asian (or Indian ) Elephant. These elephants can only be found in 4             places.
The older kinds, which lived a long time ago, lived in colder places. An 5            is the mammoths-the largest
hairy elephants. Mammoths were about the size of the largest living elephant, which is about seven 6             .
Unlike the elephants today, mammoths had 7            or dark brown hair covering their bodies. All the
mammoths had tusks (象牙), and we can 8           this from their fossil teeth.
     Scientists found out about most of the extinct (绝迹) animals by studying the fossils, such as their bones
and teeth that have been found. However, mammoths are quite different.
     During the Ice Age, mammoths died and were covered 9           in the ice. The ice kept them well. While
many animals only left behind bones and teeth, scientists found the whole body of the mammoth. 10
the whole mammoth has been kept well, scientists can see even the hair, the tusks and the whole body.
