The Ice age

Quaternary is the last period of this series of videos, it is known for its cold climate after some changes. This caused a mass extinction, but the other big real cause of the death of the megafauna come from one single species that invaded the whole world : Homo sapiens. Anytime this primate arrives on a new continent, it kills all big animals, disrupting the ecosystems.
