Question

Woolly mammoths were grass-eating mammals that resembled elephants but with heavy coats, large tusks, and small ears that made them suited for extremely cold weather of the ice age. In addition to hunting by humans, which other conditions may have caused woolly mammoths to become less reproductively successful and eventually become extinct at the end of the last ice age?

Answer 1

Well, maybe they had predators also.. maybe another animal could of taken over and killed all the other mammoths. 

Answer 2

Answer: The correct answer is- Climate change that led to decrease in the size of grassland, causing extinction of Woolly mammoths eventually.

Climate change have caused woolly mammoths to become less reproductively successful and eventually become extinct at the end of the last ice age.

They were adapted to live in extreme cold weather conditions. But at the end of last ice age, the climatic conditions were changed dramatically, which caused an increase in the temperature ( warmer climate). Due to this, size of grassland habitat was decreased ( as their food resource became depleted), causing the extinction of Woolly mammoths eventually.
