This is 11 Giant Animals that Once Roamed North America.

"Let's see what animals are there!"

Until the last ice age, American cheetahs and giant creatures resembling Armadillos marked North America as their home. In addition, there were also giant sloths found living in that region. Nevertheless, scientists are still unsure about the factors that caused the extinction of these animals or other fauna in the area thousands of years ago. However, it has been proven that North America was at least a habitat for many giant animals in the past.

"Bison Purba"

Bison purba, also known as Bison antiquus, is a large mammal that lived approximately 240,000 to 10,000 years ago. They had a larger body compared to modern American bison, about 25%. Bison purba could reach a height of 2.3 meters with a body length of around 4.6 meters, and they could weigh up to 1,600 kg. Their horns were also longer than those of modern American bison in general.

Ancient Walrus

The ancient walrus, or also known as G Pugnax, is a giant creature with a heavy body, a high forehead, and small eyes. They are believed to have lived around 8.5 million to 5 million years ago, at the end of the Miocene period. Their skulls have a large size of about 47 cm and are equipped with large upper and lower tusks.

Kucing Bergigi Pedang

Cat with sword teeth, or Homotherium, is a giant animal with very large fangs, strong front legs, sloping back, and large eyeballs. These physical characteristics make it a deadly predator during the Pleistocene era. Homotherium fossils have been found in the La Brea Tar Pits in Southern California, as well as various other locations in America, including Alaska, Texas, and Idaho.

North American Horse

Giant animal is the North American Horse, which lived about 50 million to 11 thousand years ago. The greatest peculiarity of this giant animal is its ability to survive in Eurasia and Africa despite becoming extinct in North America, a mystery that baffles scientists.

"Glyptodon"

Glyptodon is a giant mammal that is extinct, resembling an armadillo in a super-sized version. One of its distinctive physical features is the shell that protects its back.

The shell consists of bone plates that serve as defense. Glyptodon is an armored animal weighing about 1 ton, and is believed to have migrated from South America to North America through the Isthmus of Panama. This herbivorous mammal has been extinct for about 10,000 years.

"Mastodon"

"Mammoth"

Mammoth is believed to have migrated to North America about 1.7 or 1.2 million years ago. They are giant animals that have a hump of fat on their backs. Mammoths also have flat molar teeth that are not serrated, helping them chew fibrous plants.

"Short-faced Bear"

"Although referred to as a short-faced bear, this giant animal actually does not have a short face. "

However, if compared to the very long arms and legs, the face will appear relatively shorter. The very long front and back legs of a bear with a short face likely help it run at high speeds.

Canis dirus, or known as the terrifying wolf, is a giant mammal that became extinct approximately 13,000 years ago.

They have a body that is heavier than modern gray wolves, weighing between 59 and 68 kg. However, the body of this Canis dirus member is much shorter than that of modern wolves.
