Woolly mammoths were still around at the same time as the Egyptians were building the pyramids.

Apparently, Woolly Mammoths were still living on a small island named Wrangel Island at the same time as the Egyptians were building the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the oldest and biggest of all the Egyptian pyramids. This was around 2500 – 2000 BC and it is the most recent date that the Mammoths were known to be still extant.
