The Last Mammoth: How the Ice Age's Giant Disappeared?

Описание: The Last Mammoth: How the Ice Age's Giant Disappeared?

Primeval Lore presents a captivating look into the world of the woolly mammoth, one of the most iconic extinct animals from the ice age. This segment showcases these ancient, majestic creatures as they navigate vast, frozen landscapes and lush plains. We explore their existence through detailed visuals and historical context, highlighting these incredible prehistoric animals and their place among other megafauna of their time.

For decades, the extinction of the mammoth was blamed on a single cause. But modern science reveals a far more complex story — one shaped by catastrophic climate change, increasing human pressure, and a final genetic collapse on a remote Arctic island.In this documentary-style episode, we explore the rise and fall of the woolly mammoth, from its dominance of the Mammoth Steppe to its final days on Wrangel Island. Using the latest research, including new genetic studies published in 2024, we examine how habitat loss, human hunting, and inbreeding combined to end one of the most successful megafauna species in Earth’s history.This is not a story of one killer — but of a perfect storm that unfolded over tens of thousands of years.Topics covered:• The Mammoth Steppe and Ice Age ecosystems• Climate change after the Last Glacial Maximum• Human expansion and prehistoric hunting• Genetic bottlenecks and the Wrangel Island mammoths• New scientific insights into mammoth extinction.
