Difference between Mammoth steppe and Woolly mammoth

Mammoth steppe vs. Woolly mammoth

During the Last Glacial Maximum, the mammoth steppe was the Earth’s most extensive biome. The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene epoch, and was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene.
