No they were not. All megafauna, including mammoths, were wiped out in an Event in 10,900 BC all over the world.

was likely caused by a combination of factors:
Climate change: As the Pleistocene gave way to the Holocene, the climate became warmer and wetter, reducing the mammoth’s habitats.
Human impact: Fire, development of tools, and hunting by humans likely played a role.
Genetic changes: The mammoth population gradually lost harmful genetic mutations, but some other random event sealed their fate.

Yep, the The Younger Dryas impact.
