the late 70;s
Sadly, the very last mammoth died about 3,700 years ago. There are some frozen mammoth specimens that have been found in the tundra. One of these, the best preserved baby mammoth known, (affectionately called Lubya) will be on display at the Chicago Field Museum through September 6th.
No, the mammoth is not found living today. All the mammoth species became extinct about the time of the last ice age.
The term "mammoth" is derived from the Russian word "mamont," which is thought to originate from the Komi word "mamont," meaning "earth monster" or "earth creature." This name likely reflects the discovery of mammoth remains in Siberia, where they were often found buried in the ground. The association with the earth underscores the mammoth's prehistoric nature and its connection to ancient landscapes.

well actually no one knows ! because nobody recorded it!
In 2009 it had 503,856 visitors.
Mammoths existed for about 5.5 million years, with the last species of mammoth going extinct around 4,000 years ago.
Not in the cave, I was just there last week and they said the biggest things where bats however I'm NOT 100% about in the Mammoth Cave National Park, they may be a few!
The majority of mammoths went extinct by the end of the last ice, however a population of dwarf mammoth persisted on Wrangel Island in the Arctic ocean off the coast of northern Siberia until around 5,000 years ago.
The first full frozen mammoth was found in 1901 on the banks of the Kolyma River in Siberia, Russia. This well-preserved specimen, known as the Lena mammoth, provided significant insights into the life and environment of these ancient creatures. Its discovery sparked further interest in paleontological research related to mammoths and other Ice Age fauna.
