Merge with megafauna and Australian megafauna?

      • It has value in addition to these as it is more descriptive, and details the extinction theories as a whole. It needs work, but it can be improved and expanded. Sabine 17:20, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC)

To further my initial comment, this needs a lot of work. I took out some glaring errors, such as Australian mastodons and dawn horses (which were from the Eocene!), I'd prefer it if someone who knew more about Quaternary Extinctions took on the later part of the article,)Sabine 18:02, 5 Nov 2004 (UTC) User:CayteMeant to cut and paste monotreme not mastadon.

Made extensive copyedit. Also tried to remove some of the hyperbole. The 'Megafauna and legend' section is still problematic... it seems speculative and there are no citations for any of the facts. I am particularly suspicious of the motives ascribed to the conquistadores (did they really go looking for hot women?). However I limited my edits there to grammar and language use.--Leperflesh 20:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Fact Check: Wikipedia's own article on woolly rhinos states that they lived in Eurasia, and not in North America (which is true), while this article claims they were part of the North American megafauna.--Maniraptor 42 23:34, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

[[1]] says that they "have been discovered throughout Europe and Asia, although apparently they did not manage to extend their distribution into North America or to Ireland". Other articles on a cursory google search appear to agree. I'm making the change based on this evidence, although of course if anyone can substantiate a north american location they should change it back.--Leperflesh 23:48, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
