Mammoths?

Ah! Thank you. Delighted to learn that mammowhopperus Woolinsky
didn't pass
on for the same reasons as the épeé-toothed tiger.

The last ice age began with skinny monkeys, mammoths, mastodons,
smilodons (aka sabretooth), dire wolves, and the giant cave bear.

The last ice age ended with obese humans.

The last ice age hasnt ended yet, this is just an interglacial
period.

It has ended (if indeed it ever started) for the mammowhopperus Woolinsky,
smilodons (aka sabretooth) and the épeé-toothed tiger. Sad. Sniff.

They are only a small contribution to the large number of extinct species.
After each Global cataclysmic event, somehow a bunch of new species apear in
the geological record. Darwin's little fairy tale was never true, but today
there is hard physical evidence unavailable 150 years ago.
