Forensic evidence suggests Paleo Americans hunted mastodons, mammoths and other megafauna in eastern North American 13,000 years ago. Mammoths and the mastodons died out by about 10000 years ago. They are now extinct. That means that there are no more mammoths or mastodons anywhere in the world. No one really knows why this happened. Perhaps a boy or girl reading this today will grow up to be a paleontogist and discover the reason. mastodons stood about 2.5 meters tall at shoulder while mammoths stood over 3 meters tall at the shoulder. Average weight for a mammoth would be 9 tons, while the average weight for a mastodon would be -6.5 tons, The next major difference is their teeth. Though their habitat spanned a large territory, American mastodons were most common in the cold ice age spruce forest of the eastern United States, as well as immediately South of the Great lakes. ln addition to the top of their skills being flat, the mastodons are best know for their unique tooth structure. Unlike woolly mammoths and elephants who had flat teeth, the mastodon had cone shaped molars. This form of teeth allowed the mastodon to grind up twigs and other vegetation, their primary food source. While mastodons look a lot like modern elephants, they are not closely related. The ancestors of modern elephants and mammoths went their separate ways about 5 million years ago, and mastodons branched off even earlier, about 25 million years ago.
