And for that matter, driving mammoths to extinction is no mean feat either (though it was probably not just pressure from human hunting—apparently we got help from climate changes). Herbivores have been optimized to limit their risk from predation, and for the heavier ones (which can’t hope to outrun a predator) those adaptions usually involve fighting back. Them not being naturally aggressive doesn’t mean it’s trivial to bring one down.
