Mammoth are orange-brown and hairy  ;)

Actually, mammoths had the same range of hair colours as humans do. Though I believe female mammoths had less of a tendency to die their hair blonde, aubergine or teal ;)

I believe there is some evidence of a worrying trend towards dip-died pink tips towards the end of the last ice-age  :O)

Of course, I completely forgot about all the non-hairy mammoth species!  I'm off to hand in my pleistocene zoologist accreditations!  :-[

They also paint the soles of their feet yellow so they can hide upside down in bowls of custard. :D
