Stake attention in this memory
A museum exhibit panel with text in Portuguese and English about the extinction of large animals in the Holocene epoch is mounted on a wall in the Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, located at latitude: -23.627, longitude: -46.674. The panel depicts a large, brown, bear-like animal with a small, tan canine attacking it. The image depicts a scene of conflict. The Portuguese text explains that the planet lost numerous species of large mammals, especially herbivores, including most mammals on the continents, such as mammoths, sloths, and giant ground sloths. The English text describes the extinction of many large animals, including saber-toothed cats and giant ground sloths, and suggests that radical climate changes and the intensification of hunting by ancient human populations were the main causes for their disappearance in the Holocene.
