YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At the end of the Ice Age, North and South America each lost 75% of their megafauna, while Eurasia lost 35%, and Africa just 10%, leaving it with the highest diversity today. With megafauna defined as animals over 44 kg (100 lbs), the number of surviving species today is roughly equal to those that went extinct.
