Mammoth extinction at time flood

[trottigy]

Scientist totally baffled at how the mammoth could have went extinct at the same time as the Bible says a global flood happened. What could have killed them off?

About 4,000 years ago, the last of Earth's woolly mammoths died out on a lonely Arctic Ocean island off the coast of Siberia, a melancholy end to one of the world's charismatic Ice Age animals.

The datings are interesting, since they concur with our timing of the global flood, and are made by an evolutionary geneticist.

Funny, they just can't figure out what possible catastrophe could have happened a little over 4,000 years ago that made these animals in such a remote place that were recovering from genetic issues to go extinct.

 

There must be something ... Somewhere ... That could explain it, but nothing comes to mind  I suppose it will have to stay a mystery.....

That is, until it becomes a 'Finished Mystery'

I love this paragraph,

 

Quote

"Perhaps the mammoths would have been vulnerable to that given the reduced diversity we identified in the immune system genes. Alternatively, something like a tundra fire, a volcanic ash layer or a really bad weather season could have caused a really bad growth year for the plants on Wrangel. Given how small the population was, it would have been vulnerable to such random events," Dalén said.

 

 

Umm, I'm going with "really bad weather" as the likeliest cause.

Me too.😎🌊  Also though not mentioned weren’t some found fully preserved in the ice with vegetation in their system as if they were vegetarian.  I vaguely remember my husband having a newspaper article cutting he used to use in a public talk many years ago.
