When it’s time to tend to your woolly mammoth’s long, luscious locks, there are some things to keep in mind.
First, the bigger the comb, the better. Your woolly mammoth is nine feet tall. That’s a lot of hair!
Second, this is an outdoor job. Your woolly mammoth eats a lot of grass, so you’ll probably find plenty in her fur. There may be ice chunks and snow too.
Third, she has two layers of hair: the shorter underfur and the longer outer coat. The longer hairs can be braided or curled.
Fourth, while your woolly mammoth’s ears and tail are shorter than the Asian or African elephant, that doesn’t mean they can’t hold a colorful bow!
Those long, luscious locks are looking lovely! Next up, woolly rhino!
当你给猛犸象打理它那头柔软的长长秀发时，请记住以下几点：
第一，梳子越大越好。一个9英尺高的猛犸象会有许多头发！
第二，这是户外工作。猛犸象以草为食，所以你会在它的头发里发现许多草，可能还有冰块和雪。
第三，它有两层毛发：较短的下层绒毛与较长的外层毛发。长发可以编成辫子或卷成卷儿。
第四，虽然与亚洲象和非洲象相比，猛犸象的耳朵小一些，尾巴短一些，但这并不妨碍你在上面绑上五颜六色的蝴蝶结！
这些长而柔软的头发真好看！下一位，长毛犀牛登场！
