The Mammoth has been found to be genetically closest to the Asian Elephant. So I guess if you want to know what a Mammoth tasted like you need a slab of fresh Asian elephant. But before you sink your ivories into that juicy slab of elephant you might want to know a few facts our forefathers never gave any thought to. (1) Elephants are becoming an endangered species (2) Elephants are now known to be sentient (Being aware of self like humans) Like dogs, certain parrots, chimpanzees, apes , and probably others. Kinda makes you feel like a murderer or cannibal. Just mentioning these facts to louse up your appetite. I was really surprised at the canine finding even though I always felt my dogs were more human than some people I know.
