Cute overload!
But in the mastodons' case, the "nipple teeth" actually referred to protrusions on the molars that made the teeth well-suited for chewing leaves.
Also, mastodons and woolly mammoths weren't the same (I thought maybe they were). Mastodons ate fruit and leaves high up on plants, while mammoths grazed on the ground. And mammoths had the lumpy-topped heads while mastodons didn't.
The more you know. And knowing's half the battle!
