because the grass was under several layers of snow and the mammoths had to move the snow with their tusks which made them tired and weak so it was easy for predators to eat their target.And because there was hardly any water and the climate was changed.

Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. Theories include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, and human overhunting. It could have also been any combination of the above.
