Mastodon Ranked

self-explanatory..
1The American Mastodon
As American as apple pie, Dolly Parton's tits and high school shootings.

M. americanum, the American mastodon, the best known and the last species of Mammut, its earliest occurrences date from the early-middle Pliocene (early Blancan stage). It had a continent wide distribution, especially during the Pleistocene epoch,[7] known from fossil sites ranging from present-day Alaska and New England in the north, to Florida, southern California, and as far south as Honduras.[8] The American mastodon resembled a woolly mammoth in appearance, with a thick coat of shaggy hair.[9] It had tusks that sometimes exceeded 5 meters (16 ft) in length; they curved upwards, but less dramatically than those of the woolly mammoth.[10] Its main habitat was cold spruce woodlands, and it is believed to have browsed in herds.[9] It became extinct at the end of the Pleistocene approximately 11,000 years ago.
2M. Matthewi
possibly an ancestor of Matthew Maconaughey

M. matthewi—found in the Snake Creek Formation of Nebraska, dating from the late Hemphillian.[11] Some authors consider it practically indistinguishable from M. americanum.[7]
3M. Raki
A Mexican mastodon, coming over here trying to steal our Americanum jobs!

M. raki—Its remains were found in the Palomas Formation, near Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, dating from the early-middle Pliocene, between 4.5 and 3.6 Ma.[12] It coexisted with Equus simplicidens and Gigantocamelus and differs from M. americanum in having a relatively longer and narrower third molar,[7] similar to the description of the defunct genus Pliomastodon, which supports its arrangement as an early species of Mammut.[13] However, like M. matthewi, some authors do not consider it sufficiently distinct from M. americaum to warrant its own species.
4M. Cosoensis
From California, likes surfing and fondling himself while watching Point Break

M. cosoensis—found in the Coso Formation of California, dating from the late Pliocene, originally a species of Pliomastodon,[14] it was later assigned to Mammut.[15]

Since a tentative 1977 report of M. matthewi in China, there have been no reports of currently recognized Mammut species outside of North America according to Paleobiology database (which does not recognize M. borsoni).[16] However, the status of Mammut or Zygolophodon borsoni in the literature appears equivocal.[17][18]
