Best Answer

Adult mammoths only had one natural predator, the saber toothed cat. Unprotected mammoth calves could have been hunted by many large predators, such as cave hyenas, flat faced bears, American lions, saber toothed cats, and Dire wolves, to name a few. Prehistoric humans also hunted mammoths, including adults.

Mammoths were hunted by early humans for their meat, hides, and bones. They were also targeted by predators such as saber-toothed cats and dire wolves. Additionally, changes in climate and habitat loss may have contributed to the decline of the mammoth population.
