What Killed the Great Beasts of North America? 214
sciencehabit writes "Until about 11,000 years ago, mammoths, giant beavers, and other massive mammals roamed North America. Many researchers have blamed their demise on incoming Paleoindians, the first Americans, who allegedly hunted them to extinction. But a new study points to climate and environmental changes instead. The findings could have implications for conservation strategies, including controversial proposals for 'rewilding' lions and elephants into North America."

I see great hambeasts of North America roaming about everytime I go to Walmart. Largest in the world.
We have no shortage of large, XL, XXL, XXXL, or XXXXL wildlife.

Those are the elephants. They now want to introduce lions to thin the herds.
