The last Mammoths in North America were found off the coastal islands of what is now Canada and Alaska 7000 years ago. In response to the changing climate they had shrunk to the point where they were 4-5 ft at the shoulder. Mini-Mammoths. I wonder if they would've make good pack stock for hauling out elk?
More likely the mini mammoth phenomenon was due to island restrictions. Like key deer.
iirc , wrangle island was the last holdout of the mamoth, as recently as 1,000 years ago Mini mammoths
