Bio: Emperor mammoths are large, herd-dwelling species of mammoths native to Exotic Island. They are descendants of few populations of Columbian mammoths, woolly mammoths and steppe mammoths that were brought to Exotic Island and hybridized with each other, forming a new species. Emperor mammoths are one of the most largest species of mammoths, about twice the size of their ancestors due to the nuclear radiation. Their ancestors also managed to survive the nuclear radiation. They are now times larger than their ancestors. They are now found throughout the alpine meadows, glaciers, lowlands, temperate forests, snowy fields, scrublands, redwood forests, mountainous plateaus, prairies, savannas, temperate woodlands, snowy mountains, highlands, rocky deserts, arctic and tundra regions, temperate grasslands, savannas and rocky mountains of Exotic Island.
