There are madillos the size of small cars, beavers eight feet long, birds with a wingspan of 26 feet

There were armadillos as big as small cars,an eight foot beaver,and a bird with a 26 foot wingspan.Almost everywhere, the world's megafauna
were driven to extinction, often by human hunters.Some species still survive in parts of Africa and Asia.In other places, you can still see the legacy of these great beasts.Most trees are able to resprout where their trunk is broken to withstand the loss of much of their bark
and to survive splitting, twisting and trampling, partly because they evolved to survive attacks by elephants.
