Why did the woolly mammoths become extinct?

Answer 1

No one knows for sure why the wooly mammoth became extinct. In about 13,000 BC, humans began developing new bifaced stone tools which enabled them to kill wooly mammoths. Most scientists think those tools caused the extinction of wooly mammoths. Other scientists question that theory because wooly mammoths had been decreasing in numbers in North America for 20,000 years. Probably the decline came because other animals developed and ate the same food. Such an animal could have been the caribou or reindeer. So with the number of wooly mammoths decreasing and humans hunting them, they became extinct. When all the large mammals were destroyed, humans did not become extinct. The new bifaced stone tools made agriculture possible.

There are many theories, but a couple are that mammoths could not adapt quickly enough to the changing climate after the ice age, or that they were hunted to extinction by humans.

Answer 2

Because of the heat they couldn't live in that hot of a place because of the long and thick fur they had.
