In summary, mammoths went extinct around 10,000 years ago during the Pleistocene era. The exact cause of their extinction is still debated, with theories including climate change, overhunting by humans, and disease. There were multiple species of mammoths, including the well-known woolly mammoth and the Columbian mammoth. While attempts have been made to extract DNA from mammoth remains, it is currently not possible to bring back a fully functioning mammoth through cloning. Mammoths are now extinct, but some museums and exhibits have well-preserved fossils on display.
