I dont know but i need to, and this seemed like a better answer than the one before this one.

No one is certain why the mammoth became extinct. They died. They may have succumb to climate change at the end of the last Ice Age. Other theories are related to the arrival of modern humans, which may have spread diseases that were fatal to mammoths, or over-hunted them.

Wooly mammoths became extinct around 10,000 to 12,000 years ago. Nobody is sure why. It may be because of climate change or possibly over hunting by humans. There is also a possibility that some of them interbred with elephants amd their genes are intermingled with modern elephants.

Like elephants today, the Woolly Mammoth were social animals, and the females lived in related groups or herds.

Until the male mammoth reached the age of three to four years of age, he also lived with this group of closely related females. At that age, he started exploring his world and left the group behind. For two to three years after he left the female herd, he may have lived with a nomadic band of other male like age mammoths. This was called a bachelor herd.

Males were not usually related to each other in the bachelor herd, and came and went as they chose. As the males reached the age of 20, they no longer associated with herds of either sex unless it was time to breed.

As the world got warmer the woolly mammoth habitat decreased their source of food and as the human population grew the more hunters their was around to hunt the mammoths so that could drove the last of the mammoths to extinction

The food chain would have not been altered severely due to the charactaristics of the mammoth: Being its size it had very few natural predators (with the excpetion of human beings) meaning very little life depened on consuming the mammoth, it has been know that the Sabre tooth tiger used to bring them down in packs however the chances of this would have been rare and they most likely resorted on smaller prey.

The lifespan of the mammoth approximately 90 years ment that scavengers would not deppend on it either. It can be argued that as mammoths grazed grass and plant populations led to a slight increase but this does not afeect food chains to any extremity.

Female woolly mammoths lived in herds of related females and their calves. Adult males probably lived alone. They probably spent 20+ hours grazing per day, and spent other time sleeping. At the same time, females and calves found enough time to socialize. They would have constantly moved around to find more food and to avoid overgrazing any one area.

Mammoths had too many adaptations to list. However, I can tell you about some of the adaptations they had to survive in cold climates.

1. Mammoths had a large mass, in most cases larger than modern elephants. The more mass an animal has, the less heat and energy it loses to keeping warm.

2. Small ears helped to conserve heat.

3. Thick fur and a layer of fat served as effective insulation to keep mammoths warm.

Mammoths looked similar to elephants except for a few differences.

First, they had very long, curved tusks. Second, they had long, brown hair for insulation. Third, they had tiny ears compared to modern elephants. Fourth, they had longer forelimbs than hind limbs, whereas modern elephants have relatively equal length limbs and a mostly level back, mammoths did not.

Mammoths were similar to elephants except for a few features. Those features are:

1. Mammoths had longer forelimbs than hind legs. Thus, their back sloped forward, whereas elephants have a level back.

2. They had longer, dramatically curved tusks when compared to modern elephants.

3. They were covered in long fur.

4. Mammoths had tiny ears compared to elephants.

Predators of woolly mammoth calves and potentially adults included Smilodon, Homotherium, lions, and cave hyenas. Humans were their most formidable predator, possibly even having hunted them to extinction.

No, mammoths didn't live in Antarctica. It's too cold there, and there is no food chain for any animal.

Not usually frozen ground, but ice itself. Ice preserves carcasses better because the air capsules in the ice balance the oxygen levels. Ice and frozen ground in ancient siberia stays frozen ground. And it works as a near perfect preserve.

bob the builder :)

It only have one baby at a time but might only have one in there whole life time.

Not any more. Its extinct.

Up to 16 feet long

It lived in Russia 100,000 mya to10,000 years ago

The Woolly Mammoth is a Herbivore, meaning it only eats plant matter.
