Anyway, the article speculates that these defects could have been due to inbreeding, and maybe it partly was (i don't know), but perhaps there's also something to the fact that they, like the giants, were just no longer suited to the overall environment (electro-magnetic as well as climate) and these defects resulted from that.
Possibly, although woolly mammoths were about the same size as today's Asian elephants.
