EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the awe-inspiring presence of a Woolly Mammoth, as depicted in Louis Figuier's enchanting illustration, "Mammoth (Skeleton of the mammoth in the St. Petersburg Museum)" from his seminal work, "The World before the Deluge" published in 1981. The Woolly Mammoth, a massive proboscidean mammal, is recognized as a member of the Elephantidae family within the larger order of Proboscidea, which also includes modern-day elephants. This extinct creature roamed the Earth during the Pleistocene epoch, around 700,000 to 4,000 years ago. Figuier's illustration, showcased in the St. Petersburg Museum, offers a hauntingly beautiful glimpse into the past. The mammoth's skeleton, with its long tusks curving upwards, is a testament to the colossal size and strength of this prehistoric creature. Its place within the Eutheria, a subclass of mammals that includes placental mammals, further emphasizes its connection to the diverse and rich history of mammalian life. As a placental mammal, the Woolly Mammoth would have nourished its young with milk produced in its mammary glands. Its epitherian condition, a characteristic of mammals that includes the presence of a diaphragm, would have allowed for efficient breathing and a more complex respiratory system. Figuier's illustration not only serves as a scientific record but also as a poignant reminder of the rich and diverse history of life on Earth. The Woolly Mammoth, with its enigmatic presence, continues to fascinate and inspire us, offering a glimpse into the world before our own.
