if hunters killed the megafauna in north america then why wasn't the megafauna not wiped out in africa?

Answer 1

Global warming wiped out the mamoths. They didn't last long after the last ice age.

I don't know what kind of SUV's the humans were driving that caused global warming end the ice age.

Answer 2

The megafauna was never destoyed in North America and exists today, to wit buffalo, bears, cougars, deer, elk, caribou, moose etc. In Africa, the profundity of the animals replaced those killed for food. In some areas the megafauna did disappear (i.e. central Europe) where the native bison became extinct in much of its distribution. Other areas such as Australia never had a substantial population of larger beasts, mainly controlled by the climate and available foods. In India, many of the hoofed animals were literally crowded out of survival zones and now most of the indigenous ungulates are endangered. Prehistoric animals such as mammoths, etc were not wiped out by hunters but by climatic change.

Answer 3

What "mega fauna" are you referring to? Just today I saw bison. There are many moose and even caribou in my home state, as well as grizzlies, wolves and too many mountain lions.

I think that climate change has killed off many species in the past, probably from volcanic or sun cycle changes.

Answer 4

too many of them. and the apex predators had made the large prey skittisk and more wary.
