Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. Theories include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, and human overhunting. It could have also been any combination of the above.

They died because, there was little food and even the Woolly Mammoth could freeze to death in the Ice Age. Scientists think it was because of hunting.
