"[E]ach adult mammoth was much larger than an African elephant, with tusks that curled in a great spiral, like the shoot of a fern as it comes from the ground. Their shaggy hair was a foot or two long, anywhere from reddish brown to almost black, and the mammoths had a distinctly odd profile."

Being one of the elephant's earlier ancestors (along with the mastodons), the wooly mammoth looked even more impressive than today's world's largest land mammal. The mammoth, did, indeed, have similar characteristics to the elephant, such as tusks, a trunk, the big ears, etc... However, they were furrier, varied more in color, had much bigger, more attractive looking tusks that stretched to the front in a twisting pattern, and most distinctively, their backs were arched like the slope of a hill. That's why I've chosen to go with Jonathan Blair's photo, Wooly Mammoth: Replica.
