Mammoths most likely fought for similar reasons that their modern-day relatives, the elephants, fight. For example, assuming that their social structure was similar to modern elephants, one might assume that the overall herd structure was matriarchal, with mammoth bulls living solitary or group lives following sexual maturity; however, these ideals remain to be speculative. Therefore, reasons for fighting between individual mammoths may include competition between bulls for mates, fights between matriarchs and 'strangers' from outside the herd, or sparring between potential matriarchs.
