∙ 12y agoBasically there are 3 theories, in order of most believed:
Environmental Changes - the climate started to warm up which disrupted ecosystems
Humans - they became more populated and killed animals for food
Diseases - Infectious Diseases were so fatal that whole species could easily become extinct
Some people believe in a combination of these.

∙ 14y agoThe reason is because the Ice Age animals were born with warm bodies and fur.
At one point in time the sun heated up the earth then melted the snow. The animals died of over heating. Technically they got over heated because of their warm coats for extremely cold weather made them too and they died.
I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF ANY OF THIS INFORMATION IS TRUE!!!!!!!!THIS IS FROM AN OPINION FROM A 13 YEAR OLDWiki User
∙ 13y agoThere are many theories that may have happened.
1. At the end of the ice age, there would have been a major climate change. This would have dramatically affected the ecosystems. Some of the large megafauna wasn't able to adapt and therefor became extinct.
2. Another possible theory is a 'plague' that wiped them out. However, I think this is a relatively unlikely theory.
3. Another theory is that they were over hunted by humans.
It also may have been a combination of the theories above.

When in history did the saber-toothed tiger become extinct?
All saber-tooth mammals lived between 33.7 million and 9,000 years ago. The Saber Tooth Tiger lived during the end of the Quaternary Period, and during the Ice Age, and could be found all over the world. It was thought to have become extinct because of the rising sea levels at the end of the Ice Age which covered the tigers' environment. It went extinct because of the temperature changes. It became extinct after the last ice age, because its habitat changed from woodland to grassy plains, and being a heavily built ambush predator, it was unsuited to the new environment, and was unable to adapt to it fast enough to survive as a species.many years before a sable tooth tiger got excint
