There were types of Mammoths that went extinct and there are some traces of what some scientist think were what we'd call today "elephants" (but its unclear if the traces are elephants or really dwarf mammoths....last I read anyways). Thus it is likely that there was, at one time, a species of elephant (not mammoth) in North America....though scientists are still looking for further evidence and want to make sure that the findings aren't those of A) smaller mammoths or B) animals brought over by Europeans from Africa and Asia (thus they are 'dating' the findings they have).

I'd say yes, judging on the fact that there was once a mass continent called Pangaea, slowly stretching outwards. So elephants could have roamed to Mexico.

Archeologists have found some evidence that there were once elephants in Mexico.

Hi. Mastodons maybe. Look at the 'Habitat' section of this site. http://www.answers.com/main/ntquery?s=Mastodon&gwp=13
