曼尼是《冰河世纪》中性情温和而稳重的长毛象，这种曾经称霸冰河世纪的动物缘何灭绝于世？

猛犸生活在约1万1千年前，首次出现是480万年前，约5000年前神秘灭绝，古脊椎动物，哺乳纲，长鼻目，真象科。学名真猛犸象，也称长毛猛犸象。猛犸是鞑靼语“地下居住者”的意思，曾经是世界上最大的象。它身高体壮，有粗壮的腿，脚生四趾，头特别大，在其嘴部长出一对弯曲的大门牙。猛犸象以自己整个种群的灭亡标志了第四纪冰川时代的结束。也有一说是因为人类的屠杀造成了猛犸象的灭绝。

Manny is a woolly mammoth shown as one of the main characters in all three Ice Age films. While his true name is Manfred, many other characters throughout the films refer to him as simply "Manny"。

The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius)， also called the tundra mammoth, is an extinct species of mammoth. This animal is known from bones and frozen carcasses from northern North America and northern Eurasia with the best preserved carcasses in Siberia. This mammoth species was first recorded in (possibly 150,000 years old) deposits of the second last glaciation in Eurasia. They were derived from steppe mammoths (Mammuthus trogontherii)
