Best Answer

Adult mammoths only had one natural predator, the saber toothed cat. Unprotected mammoth calves could have been hunted by many large predators, such as cave hyenas, flat faced bears, American lions, saber toothed cats, and Dire wolves, to name a few. Prehistoric humans also hunted mammoths, including adults.

What are woolly mammoths predators?

Woolly mammoths had a few natural predators, including early humans and some large carnivores like saber-toothed cats, cave lions, and perhaps even wolves. However, due to their large size and social behavior, adult woolly mammoths were likely less vulnerable to predation, with calves being the more common targets for predators.

What were the enemies of the woolly mammoth?

Adult woolly mammoths were so large that they had few predators. Predators of adult woolly mammoths would have been prehistoric humans and Neanderthals, and possibly Eurasian cave lions and Homotherium (a type of saber-toothed cat). Juveniles and calves would definitely have been hunted by all of the above predators as well as by cave hyenas, which would not have been able to kill an adult mammoth.
