In North America, "you only get the woolly mammoths up in the north, starting around the Great Lakes," Lindsey said.

Archaeologists found stone tools humans used to butcher animals in what's now Oregon. AdvertisementAdvertisementAncient hunters used a rock-shelter in the Oregon desert to butcher camels, bison, mountain sheep, and horses during the Ice Age. In 2012 and 2015, archeologists found blood-stained stone tools buried below teeth from the extinct animals. The stone tools were below fragments of animal teeth, and both were covered by volcanic ash. "It's a really high-quality tool stone," O'Grady said.
