猛犸其他

Mammoth, a term commonly used, refers to a prehistoric giant象, specifically the Mammoth species that thrived during the ancient era. It is often associated with immense size, symbolizing a colossal or massive presence. In a metaphorical context, it can be used to describe something extremely large or oversized, akin to terms like 'gigantic' or 'colossal', such as when describing the size of certain plants like齐墩果、石柏, or even food items like利马豆.

Additionally, mammoth can be used as an adjective to emphasize the immense scale or proportions of an object or structure. One notable example is Mammoth Cave, a massive underground wonder located in Kentucky, United States. Renowned for its enormous caverns and unique formations, this natural wonder attracts visitors from around the world.

Lastly, the term 'Woolly mammoth' specifically refers to the extinct species of mammoth known for its thick fur, which once roamed the Earth during the Ice Age. Their presence serves as a reminder of the distant past and the massive creatures that once inhabited our planet.
