I wish megafuana were still a thing. So many fucking cool big ass animals. Pleistocene America was nuts.

then men with pointy sticks killed them.

such is life

Just go into Exile

Africa sill has awesome megafauna
It's a shame that it's extremely dangerous to travel Africa to witness the majestic animals
It's depressing that the megafauna of Africa are going extinct because chinks want bullshit medicine

Imagine the huge hippopotamus turds this thing could dump.

Why?
As if we could co-exist. Be grateful of the species we still have instead of wishing for the unmanageable.

>>2365296
would the DNA from Pleistocene animals be too degraded to ever clone them?

No America cooled resulting in a temperate climate in the north and and a desert in the south. Megafauna in America were built for savannas not those so they eventually died off.

>wish megafuana were still a thing
>what are elephants, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, bison, muskox, etc

At least musk ox feel like a 'truly' left over ice age animal. I say that because I'm well aware we have plenty of animals still alive today. Hell, white tailed deer were jumping around then. I just do wish we have more huge, wooly tundra animals.

Multiple factors killed them so you're both right. I lean more towards climate and overall changes but especially in isolated areas it's easy to hunt something to extinction.
You also have to keep in mind that animals aren't born frolicking around until they die of old age. There's competition, disease, parasites, predators, injury, etc. Mammoths also have an especially long gestation and maturation rate.

Why that? I've come across numerous publications blaming humans rather recently.
