Species List

Underneath you can find a list of megafauna and other key species from the Late Pleistocene.

Disclaimer: We acknowledge that some taxa may be of unclear classification, with some species and genera potentially overlapping depending on the source. Furthermore inaccurate dating or a lack of dating altogether means that some taxa, though included, have not been conclusively dated to the Late Pleistocene. The taxa are broken down by region, then further subdivided by Class and family. Regionally Extinct taxa are indicated by the ‘†’ Icon, and globally extinct species by ‘††’ this also includes species whose only surviving members are domesticated. Dubious taxa or specimens are denoted by the ‘*’ Icon. Common names are also indicated where possible.
