"Mammoth teeth grew similar to the process of a conveyor belt. Once a set of teeth was being completely worn down, a new set would be ready to grow in its place. This process would take place six times in a mammoth’s lifetime. In the final set, when the teeth wore down, the mammoth would slowly starve to death."
I remember learning that about elephants when I went to the zoo with my parents back in September.
