Velikovsky was a goober. Ranks up there with Van Danniken.

Hogwash. Mammoths ranged over the entire northern hemisphere... Europe, Asia, North America. Last species of mammoth to go extinct only did so in the last 5000 or so years (a dwarf species on some island or other).

Individuals, yes. Eat some daisies, go for a walk on a frozen lake, break through the ice, die and get frozen. Pretty simple, no need for Jupiter to spit out Venus as a comet to explain it.

Yes. Simple, except that:
as many as ten million mammoths are believed buried in permanently frozen Russian soil.
That's a lot of walking on frozen lakes, breaking through ice, dieing, and getting frozen!
