ecological changes change the environment, not all species are able to adapt to the changes and go extinct

Explanation:

Natural selection leads to extinctions. When the environment changes due an ecological change, organisms must adapt or go extinct.

It is speculated as the environment warmed up after the ice ages the large animals went extinct. The saber tooth tiger that depended on the large animals also went extinct. The change in the ecology changed the environment resulting in the extinction of many species of large mammals.
