How did the mammoths become extinct?

The mystery of the extinction of the mammoth. The reasons for the extinction of the mammoth are as follows:

First: due to changes in the environment.

As humans pollute the environment more and more seriously, the greenhouse effect becomes more and more serious. This has made the global temperature higher. Mammoths are not suitable for surviving in places that are too hot, so these mammoths are forced to continue to migrate north. The range of activities and living space of the mammoths became smaller and smaller, and the grass cover was also greatly reduced, so the mammoths did not have enough food to eat.

Mammoths originally lived in the Ice Age, but when the glaciers decreased, there was no room for the mammoths to survive. There is a law of survival of the fittest in nature. In this process, the mammoth could not persist to the end, so it was forced to be eliminated by nature.

Second: Humans hunt a lot.

Mammoths have very majestic ivory, and humans regard ivory as a precious cultural treasure. Because the demand for mammoth ivory in the market is relatively large, but the quantity in existence is relatively small, so the market Mammoth ivory is still very expensive. Things are rare and expensive, and if some people are willing to spend money to buy them, then naturally some people are willing to kill mammoths to obtain ivory. It is precisely because of the ruthless slaughter of humans that the rate of extinction of mammoth tusks has been accelerated.

Third: Mammoths were forced to disperse, leading to inbreeding and accelerated extinction.

Because the habitat of mammoths has been reduced, a large number of mammoths have been forced to disperse in search of new habitats, and their gathering places are no longer concentrated. Most of the separated mammoths are close relatives or a family. However, because mammoths still need to continue their family lineage and increase the number of the population, they are forced to carry out inbreeding. However, inbreeding can easily lead to poor gene transmission, and many mammoths have suffered disabilities and gene deletions because of this, which has also led to a large number of mammoth deaths. Problems occurred in the mammoth's inheritance, causing the number of mammoths to decline rapidly.
