Most North American ice age megafauna such as columbian mammoths, jefferson ground sloths, short-face bears, and dire wolves (actually marsupials) died out 12,700 years ago, and some survived until 9,000 years ago, while Eurasian ice age megafauna died out around 11,000 years ago

The famous ice age megafauna like mammoths, mastodons, woolly rhinos, saber toothed cats, giant ground sloths, etc became extinct 10,000 years ago. That was at the end of the Pleistocene and the last Ice Age. Nobody is sure why they died out.
