Is it true that Woolly mammoths began to go extinct approximately 10,000 years ago?

Yes. Woolly mammoths largely went extinct around 10,000 years ago at the end of the Pleistocene and start of the Holocene, a timeline well-supported by paleontological and sedimentary ancient DNA evidence.

The analysis

The claim specifies that woolly mammoths began to go extinct approximately 10,000 years ago. Papers 0, 1, and 3 all place the late Quaternary megafauna extinctions and the disappearance of the mammoth-steppe ecosystem right around the transition from the Pleistocene to the Holocene (~10,000 years ago), supporting the claim.
