Recent studies indicate that tuberculosis may have been partly responsible for the extinction of the mastodon 10,000 years ago.Another influencing factor to their eventual extinction in America during the late Pleistocene may have been the presence of Paleo-indians, who entered the American continent in relatively large numbers 13,000 years ago. Their hunting caused a gradual attrition to the Mastodon and Mammoth populations, significant enough that over time the Mastodons were hunted to extinction
