Megafauna Extinction and Climate Change Events

  • North America had various megafauna species like the American cave bear, American lion, armadillo the size of a Volkswagen, and giant ground sloth almost the size of an elephant, present from 2.5 million years ago until 13,000-12,000 years ago.
  • Approximately half of the megafauna species weighing over 40 kilograms, including humans, went extinct in a short period, possibly due to overfishing.
