User:WolfmanSF/List of North American megafauna
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Megafauna are large animals (for definitions, see Megafauna). This list includes extant and recently extinct (in the Pleistocene) native North American species with a body mass of 40 kg or greater, the minimal mass to be considered megafaunal.[1] Other definitions of megafaunal place use a higher threshold mass, up to 250 kg.[2] Some species listed here do not qualify as megafaunal if a higher threshold is used.
