Mammuthus trogontherii have a very famous synonyms name, is "Mammuthus sungari ",Chinese scholars in recent studies have confirmed that both in fact is the same Mammuthus.In the first published, named scholars points out that Mammuthus sungari is very close to the Mammuthus trogontherii.And in China haven't found any shoulder high reached 5 m or more's Mammuthus trogontherii,found in China's individual size compared with Europe,without too much difference,so in the so-called 5 meters shoulder high point is completely not believe.

Super artwork.
Mammuthus trogontherii aka Steppe Mammoth was truly the king of the elephants.
No other one was so big like him.
Really good.

I thought M. sungari was a separate species in the genus.
