What caused the extinction of the mammoth?

Answer 1

Mammoths became extinct because of climate change. The atmosphere's temperature went up so high that it made mammoths become extinct. Over hunting by our ancestors that lived during the ice age is also one of the factors why they got extinct.
either they couldn't deal with the climate change around 10,000 years ago, or they were hunted to extinction by early humans
Because it disappeared at 1,700 B.C.

mammoths are dumb and there so fat and they died.

There was a large and thriving population of mammoths during the last ice age. So plentiful in fact that the neolithic hunters of the present day Ukraine used their bones and ivory as building supplies and built villages out of them. Shortly there after however the mammoths became suddenly extinct. It is believed that human predation was the cause.

Answer 3

We don't know. There are theories that postulate several reasons and it may have been a combination of these and/or other potential elements:

• Climactic Change - during the current ice age, the Qurternary Glaciation, there have been periods of glacial encroachment (advance) and retreat. Mammoths roamed the Northern hemisphere during the Wisconsin Era. They became extinct during the last retreat, and warming of the climate may have played a role in their demise.
• Human intervention - evidence exists of mass hunting of mammoths and other mega fauna. Over hunting may have stressed them to the point of extinction.
• Disease - we've observed in history instances of extinction and near extinction of a number of spieces due to viral, bacterial, and fungal infection. Currently, a number of hibernating bats are facing extinction in North America for just this reason.
