honestly it was more of the humans fault for their extinxion because they killed the mammaths for food and fur. the weather did effect them because they had long heavy coats that would make them overheated, and the weather created muddy swamps and such so mammaths often got stuck in them.

∙ 13y agoHumans may have hunted the slowly-reproducing mammoths for their meat and fur, much in the way their descendants, the elephants, were slaughtered for their ivory. Other animals, such as the sabretooth, were also predatory on mammoths. However, it is still unclear to what extent hunting contributed to their decline, since there were vast areas of their ranges that were uninhabited by man.
