Mammutidae is a family of extinct proboscideans that lived between the Miocene to the Pleistocene or Holocene. The family was first described in 1922, classifying fossil specimens of the type genus Mammut, and has since been placed in various arrangements of the order. The name derives from Greek, μαστός "nipple" and οδούς "tooth", as with the genus, to indicate a characteristic that distinguishes them from allied families.

  • Mammutidae is a family of extinct proboscideans that lived between the Miocene to the Pleistocene or Holocene. The family was first described in 1922, classifying fossil specimens of the type genus Mammut, and has since been placed in various arrangements of the order. The name derives from Greek, μαστός "nipple" and οδούς "tooth", as with the genus, to indicate a characteristic that distinguishes them from allied families. The genus Zygolophodon has also been assigned to this family. Mammutidae classifies taxa that are known by the common name mastodon, a name also used by Georges Cuvier for the genus Mastodon.
  • Los mamútidos (Mammutidae, antiguamente llamada Mastodontidae) son una familia extinta de mamíferos proboscídeos conocidos vulgarmente como mastodontes. Todas las especies se clasifican en el único género, Mammut (antiguamente llamado Mastodon). No deben confundirse con los mamuts, que pertenecen al género Mammuthus, de la familia Elephantidae.
