Manny soon after met the ground sloth Sid and the saber-tooth tiger Diego, both of which he, along with another mammoth named Ellie and her possum brothers Crash and Eddie, came to embrace as his family. Scrat, the fictional saber-toothed squirrel from the Ice Age films, may not be so fictional after all.
Researchers have discovered the fossil remains of a million-year-old squirrel-like critter with a long, narrow snout and a pair of curved saber-fangs that it would have likely used to pierce its insect prey. Manny and his first wife conceived a child, who was killed, along with its mother, by a tribe of humans on the hunt, that are resembles of the cavemen are like the neanderthals.
He is actually one of the most caring characters in any animated film. But interestingly enough, he has a hard exterior that matches many first impressions of a mammoth being the main protagonist and hero of a story.
Other visual characteristics that do not match those of the typical fairytale hero are that he is quite clumsy and awkward. Like the sloths that live today, giant sloths were not predators. Recent studies of fossilized sloth dung suggest that these giant creatures ate tree leaves, grasses, shrubs, and yucca plants.
These Ice Age sloths originated in South America as far south as Argentina, but they gradually moved north to southern regions of North America. Diego's long canine teeth give his identity away; he is a saber-toothed cat, more accurately known as a smilodon genus Machairodontinae.
Smilodons, which were the largest felines to have ever prowled the earth, lived in North and South America during the Pleistocene epoch. They were built more like bears than cats with heavy, stocky bodies built for powerful predation of bison, tapirs, deer, American camels, horses, and ground sloths like Sid. Unlike Manny, Sid, and Diego, Scrat the "saber-toothed" squirrel who is always chasing an acorn was not based on an actual animal from the Pleistocene.
He is a fun figment of the movie creators' imaginations. But, in , a strange mammalian fossil was found in South America that looked a lot like Scrat.

In the first movie, Manny was a grouchy, antisocial mammoth with a firm belief in staying loyal to others, and was easily annoyed, mostly at Sid's idiosyncrasies. But as the film went by, he revealed himself to be a good person who had just lost his way after the loss of his family.
And his new friends, Sid and Diego , helped him develop into a more social and nicer guy. In the second film, Manny has developed into a "leader" sort of character, but in denial that mammoths could go extinct, due them being the biggest things on earth. He was also reluctant to try to make a relationship with a female mammoth he met named Ellie due to lingering feelings for his family.
But after much soul-searching, Manny and Ellie finally found their feelings for each other and became mates, even after they were revealed to not be the last of their kind. He also stated he likes Diego better than Sid. In the third film, Ellie is pregnant with Manny's child, causing him to become over-protective of her, and to get a little overly dramatic over even little details, likely from how he lost his first mate and child and didn't want to go through that again.
Manny focused all his attention on Ellie that he disregarded Sid most of the time, and wasn't able to see eye-to-eye with Diego's notion of leaving the herd. He then said they needed a codeword for Ellie to say "the baby's coming", which he chose to be "peaches" because he likes peaches. Upon meeting the wacky weasel, Buck , he became more concerned with Ellie, but still willing to save Sid.
When Ellie went into labor, he got frantic but was backed up by Diego, who ran to protect Ellie while Manny fended off a pack of predators. Ellie woud soon give birth to their baby daughter. Manny wanted to name her after her mother, but Ellie suggested using the codeword Peaches instead, and they agreed.
He became a loving father, a loyal mate, a good friend, and a worthy leader. Manny's friendship with Sid the Sloth "began" when he saved him from a pair of rhinos, after which Sid stuck with Manny for protection and annoyed him with his endless jabbering and stupidity. But as time went by, he became somewhat protective of Sid, mostly because he thinks that whatever Sid's gonna do he's gonna wind up hurting himself. But they became true friends, enough to risk their lives for the other. Manny met Diego under very different circumstances than he had with Sid.
At first, they seemed to keep their relationship professional. But they soon found they had more in common, especially in how they were annoyed with Sid's antics. This would further to the point where Manny risked his life to save Diego, after which he said, "That's what you do in a herd, you look out for each other. When Diego admitted to setting them up, Manny threatened to kill him, but gave Diego a second chance, and Diego returned the debt he owed to Manny by saving him from a fatal attack from Soto, although was seriously injured.
Manny stated he didn't have to, to which Diego replies with the same words Manny said to him before; That's what you do in a herd.
He was glad to see Diego all right at the end of the film and offered him a ride due to Diego's injury, but was turned down. In the next film, Manny would meet another mammoth after he began to think he was the last of his kind.
This mammoth would be a female named Ellie, but was under the impression that she was a possum, who was rather silly.
