Mammoth cave got its name from its enormously large cave system. the word mammoth it this context is used as a metaphor to its huge size (more than 390 miles explored so far and experts say there still is no end in sight)

From the size of some ofits firstpassages to be discovered. It's nothing to do with the Wooly Mammoth (ref: Wikipedia).
