The 15 Biggest Ice Age Animals Ever Discovered

It indicates that melting glaciers and permafrost contributed to the global extinction of megafauna at the end of the last Ice Age. Grasslands became bogs and ecosystems collapsed as atmospheric moisture rose, leading to the extinction of animals including the woolly mammoth, giant sloth, and saber-toothed cat.
Sometime between 15 thousand and 11 thousand years ago, the world's megafauna went extinct. Most of the species went extinct in modern-day Europe, Siberia, and the Americas.
The root of this widespread movement is unknown. Fossil evidence indicates that these species were hunted by early humans and Neanderthals for their meat. There is a school of thought among scientists that human prosperity led to the extinction of megafauna due to excessive hunting. However, it is generally agreed that this is not sufficient to account for the loss of so many species. Instead, they attribute it to a confluence of climate change and human hunting.
