No one is certain why the mammoth became extinct. They died. They may have succumb to climate change at the end of the last Ice Age. Other theories are related to the arrival of modern humans, which may have spread diseases that were fatal to mammoths, or over-hunted them.
Excluding a population of dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island (which lasted until 3,700 years ago), woolly mammoths became extinct 10,000 years ago. Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. These include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, human overhunting, or any combination of the above.
Excluding a population of dwarf woolly mammoths on Wrangel Island (which lasted until 3,700 years ago), mammoths became extinct between 10,000 and 8,000 years ago (a Columbian mammoth bone dates to less than 8,000 years ago). Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. These include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, human overhunting, or any combination of the above.
There are several theories of what caused the woolly mammoth to go extinct. One theory is that they, along with other mega fauna where over hunted by early humans. Another theory is that the Earth's climate changed and the woolly mammoth was not able to adapt to the sudden change.
Most likely it was a combination of both that lead to their extinction.
this has been a mystery for a long time, scientists think that it is because of hunting and climate change
mammoths had been extinct because of starvation the trees started to grow and the grass stop growing and also plants started growing also
by me
Mammoths disappeared because the weather became to warm for them from where they were living.
Elephants are less hairy than mammoths and do not posses such large tusks. Elephants are not extinct, while mammoths are.
