1 The final resting place of woolly mammoths was Wrangel Island in the Arctic. 2  Although, most of the woolly mammoth population died out by 10,000 years ago, a small population of 500-1000 woolly mammoths lived on Wrangel Island until 1650 BC. 3  Thatâs only about 4,000 years ago!
Scientists may have figured out why the woolly mammoth became extinct. A new study of the prehistoric beasts suggests they might have been wiped out after the last Ice Age. There's evidence that humans hunted mammoths and it was previously thought the mammoth may have driven to extinction by hunters. But scientists analysed the dozens of mammoth fossils and now think rising temperatures melting the mammoths' habitat drove them to extinction.
