The Columbian mammoth (Mammuthus columbi) is an extinct genus of mammoth related to the woolly mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene period. Two of the main differences between the woolly mammoth and the Columbian mammoth is that the latter was one of the largest mammoths and possess shorter hairs than the previous one. Another difference is that the mammoth is found in the south, from the southern United States to Costa Rica. The columbian mammoth descended from Eurasian mammoths that colonised North America during the Early Pleistocene and later experienced hybridisation with the woolly mammoth lineage.
