Best Answer

A Mastodon was an large and furry member of the elephant family that specialized in eating leaves (the mammoth specialized in eating grass). They lived during the ice age (are now extinct) in North America. They had tusks that were about 5 meters long and the tusks grew almost horizontal. The tusks had a slight curve to them too. A long time ago, (when mastodons still roamed the earth) people hunted them for their fur and their meat.
