You’re full of absolute shit, Europeans were just the peanut on the turd. Ever since proto-Asians crossed Beringia North America has gone to hell, killing the sabertooth tigers and hunting all the really fucking cool megafauna to extinction. There used to be giant sloths here, and sloths are so chill.
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. The news is reported in the June 8 issue of the journal Science.

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.

Until now I wasn’t aware that giant armadillos were a thing I really wish existed.
Don’t forget about the giant beavers (Castoroides ohioensis)!

Pour one out for the giant sloths.
nobody talks about the real natives, the chainsaw-claw pumas
So it’s the “proto-asians” we should all be angry at 🤔
