What Became of the Megafauna?

Between 50,000 and 10,000 years ago, during the final millennia of the Pleistocene Epoch, roughly 100 genera of #megafauna (animals weighing more than 100 pounds) became extinct worldwide.

Among them are well-known creatures as #mammoths and #saber-#toothed #tigers and lesser known, though no less significant, Diprotodon (an Australian marsupial the size of a hippopotamus) and Coelodonta (a woolly rhinoceros found in Europe).
