Yeah, king. Motherfucking North America was like Africa, except less hot.
Woolly mammoths, giant armadillos and three species of camels were among more than 30 mammals that were hunted to extinction by North American humans 13,000 to 12,000 years ago, according to the most realistic, sophisticated computer model to date.

Not likely wiped out by humans because they were probably already gone, but oreodonts are pretty cool too. They basically looked like pig dogs. And we don't know if they were related to pigs, camels, or hares. Which is a funny verity of possible relatives.

Don’t forget about the giant beavers (Castoroides ohioensis)!
