Why Did Mammoths Go Extinct? #mammoth #woolymammoth #shorts

There are many reasons why the mammoth may have gone extinct in prehistoric times.

Climate change at the end of the last ice age caused the mammoth's frigid habitat to shrink, leaving them confined to small pockets of Arctic tundra.

With less habitat, mammoth populations became smaller and more vulnerable to extinction.

Hunting by early modern humans reduced mammoth numbers and also disrupted their social structures.

A comet impact about 12,800 years ago caused climate cooling that dealt a major blow to mammoth populations already stressed by shrinking habitat and human hunting.

With small isolated populations and difficulty finding mates, mammoths lost genetic diversity and became susceptible to disease and birth defects.

Final disappearance of mammoths from mainland Eurasia occurred about 10,000 years ago, though small island populations survived up to 4000 years ago before going extinct.
