"Despite the superficial resemblance of these elephantine beasts, mastodons were shorter and stockier than mammoths, had lower, flatter heads and had shorter, straighter tusks. Mastodons were wood browsers and their molars have pointed cones specially adapted for eating woody tissue. Mammoths were grazers, and their molars have flat surfaces for eating grass"
