The Woolly Mammoths Go Extinct
The extinction of the last known woolly mammoth population on Wrangel Island around 4,000 years ago marked the end of an iconic species that had thrived for hundreds of thousands of years. Isolated from the mainland, these surviving mammoths faced numerous challenges, including climate change, dwindling food supplies, and genetic inbreeding, all contributing to their eventual demise. In this video, we explore the fascinating story of the final days of the woolly mammoth and the environmental and biological factors that led to their extinction in the remote Siberian wilderness.
