Was the woolly mammoth aggressive

Answer 1

Woolly mammoths probably only attacked animals who they considered threats, like modern elephants do today. For example, the leader of an elephant herd, the matriarch, will charge at animals, including humans, if it feels they are a threat to the rest of the herd, although most of the time it is just a bluff. Male elephants, however, do fight with each other over females, although it rarely results in injury.

Answer 2

Woolly mammoths were probably similar to modern elephants hen it comes to aggression. The leader of a herd, the matriarch, would probably have charged at any animal that she considered a threat to her herd, although in some cases it could have been a bluff (like modern elephants). Males would have fought with each other over mates, and they probably became very aggressive during musth (an annual time when a male elephant or mammoth would have had elevated levels of testosterone).
