Did you know that mastodons were relatively short? Despite being nearly 40% more massive than modern African elephants, the American Mastodon was 25% shorter on average!

Myth 11: Microblogging is a healthy and productive use of your time.

Honestly, i haven’t seen much people arguing about politics on Mastodon. It is a very nice place in that sense.
I was hoping to read about actual wolly mammoths.
Me too. Like obviously I could just go and read about mastodons now, but it just wouldn’t be the same experience.
That’s why I clicked on it too. Also, mammoths and mastodons are different animals.
