What ice age did the woolly mammoth live in?

The woolly mammoth primarily lived during the Pleistocene Epoch, which lasted from about 2.6 million to around 11,700 years ago. This period included several glacial cycles, where large ice sheets advanced and retreated across much of the Northern Hemisphere. Woolly mammoths thrived in the cold tundra environments of the time, particularly during the last glacial maximum, which occurred around 26,500 years ago. They eventually became extinct as the climate warmed and their habitat changed.
