Shocking reason why mammoths completely disappeared from Earth

According to researchers, mammoths roamed the Earth for millions of years. In fact, this giant animal existed even when humans appeared. Photo: Pinterest.

The mammoth is notable for its long, dense fur, long, curved tusks, and very long, inward-curving teeth. The longest tooth can be up to 5 cm long, with sharp edges that help crush food. Photo: Pinterest.

Each mammoth had a huge body, weighing several dozen tons and about 3-3.3m tall. Because their hind legs were short, their center of gravity was tilted backwards, with their shoulders raised high. Each foot had only 4 toes. Photo: Pinterest.

Mammoths disappeared from Siberia around 9,000 years ago. The last population of mammoths lived on Wrangel Island in the Arctic Ocean around 4,000 years ago and became extinct. Pinterest.

The cause of the mammoth's extinction is a topic of interest to many experts and scientists. They say that some of the reasons that could have caused this animal to disappear from Earth include overhunting, climate change, and meteorites. Pinterest.

Some scientists believe that the appearance of many skilled hunters caused the number of mammoths to decrease sharply over time before being "wiped out". Pinterest.

Another theory suggests that climate change played a large role in the mammoth's extinction. According to this view, as the weather warmed about 12,000 years ago, the ice sheets melted, causing sea levels to rise. The mammoth's habitat also shrank as a result. Pinterest.

Additionally, a speculative theory suggests that a giant meteorite crashed into Earth about 40,000 years ago, pushing mammoths to the brink of extinction. Photo: Pinterest.

Therefore, it is only a hypothesis, no solid evidence has been found, so until now the cause of the mammoth's extinction has not been officially explained. Photo: Pinterest.
