2205 BCE to 2062 BCE

The woolly mammoth, the last species of mammoth, becomes extinct on Wrangel Island between 2500–2000 BCE, the most recent survival of all known mammoth populations.

Much smaller in size than typical mammoths due to limited food supply, and isolated from the mainland for six thousand years, five hundred to one thousand mammoths lived on the island at a time.
