No one really knows how Mammoths got extinct but Mr. Groom told us a volcano erupted and everything died. :( ME MAD! >:(

How many years ago was the largest mass extinction?
The most extreme that we are aware of was the Permian Extinction about 252 million years ago, in which 95% of all life was killed. The cause is still unknown, although it is possible that this was an impact event.
What are the similarities between original replaced remain fossils and cast and mold fossils?
All are indicative of the size and shape and possible habitat of the original organism.
Is it true similarities between living species and extinct species can not be used to determine their relationship to each other?
Similarities between living species and extinct species can be used to determine their relationship with one another. Beyond physical characteristics, a comparison of DNA can help establish the relationship between animals.
What are the similarities between balanced and unbalanced forces?
An object with balanced forces acting on it is still. An object with unbalanced forces acting on them moves at an non constant velocity. It is possible for an object to have balanced forces acting on it and yet move in a vacuum.
What is the greatest common factor between 25 and 50?
(wild guess) 10 It is not possible to give a sensible answer to this question. The greatest common factor (GCF) refers to a factor that is COMMON to two or more numbers. You have only one number in the question!
What are the similarities and differences the extinction of mammoths and the possible extinction of Asian elephants?
This is a difficult question to answer because nobody knows for sure why mammoths became extinct. However, one hypothesis is that human activity (particularly over-hunting), was responsible for the extinction of mammoths, and Asian elephants are also threatened with extinction largely due to hunting. Another possible cause of the mammoth's extinction was habitat loss because of climate change. Habitat loss also effects Asian elephants, but for them, it is due to deforestation caused by humans. Note that there is one thing that all extinctions have in common. Extinction occurs when a species is unable to adapt to some change in the conditions of their environment. This may be climate change, habitat loss, the disappearance of their food supply, or even the appearance of a new species that over-hunts them, etc.
Did humans have anything to do with mammoths dying out?
The answer to this question is not known. It is possible humans hunted the mammoths into extinction. It is also likely we will never be certain about the answer to this question. We have caused the extinction of numerous other interesting species, such as thylacine.
Why did the woolly mammoths become extinct?
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.
Can humans bring back Wooly Mammoths and have proof that it is possible?
No it is not possible, once they're extinct they can't come back.
Do elephants go under water?
no but its possible they can..
Which is a possible explanation for mass extinction?
Global whining
Comparing fossil bones with modern animals bones Will it help you see the modern animals evolutionary history?
Fossils found, such as Wolly Mammoths,differ in many ways. Wolly mammoths are the ancestors to the elephants we have living today. The difference? Wolly mammoths are much longer and differ in size. For example, if you had a mammoth and an elephant stand on their hind legs, the mammoth would be taller.
How is it possible for elephants to never grow exponentially because of their rate of reproduction is so slow?
There are lots of elephants to reproduce already.
What are the possible solutions to prevent jaguars extinction?
what are the possible solutions to prevent jaguars extinction?
Can you breed a wolverine and a dog?
it may be possible but that is very slim of happening. The wolverine is on the brink of extinction.
What are the adverse effects of letting poor people poach?
Possible species extinction because of over-poaching.
Can elephants get malaria?
It may be possible for elephants to contract malaria, as there are over 200 different Plasmodium species. However, elephants are not susceptible to the same five Plasmodiumspecies that humans are.
