@ASomewhatRudeParakeet Apart from the hirsuteness, size is probably the one thing they will likely look to improve from the Asian Elephant specs, to be more mammothlike, or maybe not.

sold Ṁ7 NO

@JussiVilleHeiskanen Oops. The size despite the name isn't larger, and there are even dwarf mammoths, which the woolly mammoth isn't but appears it is the same size as the Asian. meh, do the research, and don't go half-cocked (note to self)
