Gotta go with Mammoth. Even its name is macho-ier than "mastodon." Mammoth. MAMMOTH. OMG did you see that mammoth truck?!!

I agree with 'Kat. I believe that mastodon literally means "chew tooth".
That is not a macho name.
You really posted early today, Kevin.

Actually 'bender, I did a bit of Googling 'cause I was curious about the diff between them. "Mastodon" literally means "nipple tooth" 'cause those early scientists who had a mastodon tooth thought it resembled a nipple. ?? Obviously they weren't doctors, huh.
So even less macho than you thought.

Gotta go with the Mammoth...
Tusks don't look as practical, but his overall "demeanor" just looks "macho"... You wanna piece of ME? Let's dance! Then I'll pick ya' out from between my toes... LOL!

Must have been a French paleontologist that named the mastodon.
