What are baps why did baps kill the mammoths?
Mammoths had a very different digestive system than the Scots, who eat baps as breakfast rolls. Overconsumption of refined flours caused excessive growth of noxious bacteria in the rumen, resulting in degradation of the intestinal lining and eventual mammoth explosions. If you would like to make your own baps, here is a recipe:
"Take about a pound of flour, and rub into it a pap spoonfull of butter and then add as much Milk as will make it into a very thick Batter then put it into a marble Mortar and beat it till 'tis quite light drop it upon tin Sheets (about a large spoonfull in a drop) and bake them. There are to be split and butter'd. N.B. the Butter should be rub'd in the flour till you can't feel the Butter." (The receipt book of Harriott Pinckney Horry, 1770) Do not feed to mammoths.

What is a good question about extinction that you can make up?
Give a reason for the extinction of dinosaurs What species is now in danger of extinction
Because extinction is a natural process why should humans now be concerned with the extinction rate?
Because the extinction rate is conservatively 100 to 1,000 times higher because of humans. So if it wasn't for us the natural rate would be such that the environment could recover from it.
It is true that we are a natural part of extinction, but we have also benefited many species of animal that we deem to have favourable characteristics. Cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry exist in huge numbers due to human activity. If an animal is not useful to humans, and is co-existing in the same habitat, its numbers will decline.
Cuckoos invade the nests of other birds, substitute it's own eggs for the hosts, and lets them raise it's young. Is this wrong? Or is this nature at work?
Humans are also nature at work, and we should only be concerned if a species benefiting us is in decline.

Extinction of a particular animal species occurs when there are no more individuals of that species alive anywhere in the world. The process of extinction is a natural part of evolution.
This is the astounding coelacanth ("see-la-kanth"), the fusion of life and time, that following a supposed extinction of 65 million years, head-lined into human consciousness with its discovery alive in 1938. Called "Old Four Legs" and the "Living Fossil," the Coelacanth quickly became the continuing obsessive focus of journalists, crypto biologists, scientists, eccentric explorers, aquariums, and divers .
