Hace 6 días · Diprotodon went extinct about 40,000 years ago as part of the Late Pleistocene megafauna extinctions, along with every other Australian animal over 100 kg (220 lb); the extinction was possibly caused by extreme drought conditions and predation pressure from the first Aboriginal Australians, who likely co-exised with Diprotodon and other megafauna in Australia for several thousand years prior ...

2 de jul. de 2024 · “The large and very selective loss of megafauna over the last 50,000 years is unique over the past 66 million years,” said Aarhus University’s Professor Jens-Christian Svenning. “Previous periods of climate change did not lead to large, selective extinctions, which argues against a major role for climate in the megafauna extinctions.”
Hace 2 días · Glyptodon was one of many South American megafauna, with many native groups such as notoungulates and ground sloths reaching immense sizes. Glyptodon had a mixed diet of grasses and other plants, instead living at the edge forests and grasslands where the shrubbery was lower. Glyptodon had a wide muzzle, an adaptation for bulk feeding.
Hace 4 días · Considering many other species of Australian megafauna went extinct around the same time, either due to human predation or being outcompeted by them, the same can be assumed for megalania. Confrontations between megalania and early Aboriginal Australians may have inspired tales of fearsome creatures such as the whowie.
