Wrangel Island
Wrangel island may have been the last place Woolly Mammoths (Mammuthus primigenius) existed before becoming extinct. The island is littered with mammoth tusks. A population of mammoths existed here some 6,000 years after they went extinct on the mainland. They survived until about 1650 BCE. Archaeological evidence on the island shows them to be a smaller subspecies, Mammuth primigenius wrangelensis.
