Species List

Underneath you can find a list of megafauna from the Late Pleistocene.

Disclaimer: We acknowledge that some taxa may be of unclear classification. The taxa are broken down by region, then further subdivided by family. Regionally Extinct taxa are indicated by the ‘†’ Icon, and globally extinct species by ‘††’ this also includes species whose only surviving members are domesticated. Common names are also indicated where possible. Megafauna is in this case defined as species with a mass (or estimated mass) of more than 40kg, or in the case of predators, recorded (or suspected of) taking down megafaunal prey.
