they traveled across the planet, killed off many megafauna like mammoths, wolly rhinos, sabre-tooths, bunyip, megalania, moa, giant eagle, ground sloth and giant cave bear
Now they are threatening many other animals on this planet due to pollution and cause global climate change

What was the mass extinction that was most likely caused by the formation and retreat of glaciers?
"It was the Cretaceous-Tertiary or the K-T Extinction." - WrongThe K-T Extinction was the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, which was more widely believed to be caused by a heavenly body colliding with the Earth.The mass extinction that involved a large period of glaciation was in truth the Ordovician-Silurian Extinction, which was the earliest mass extinction.The extinction is associated with a period of glaciation. First, sea levels dropped as glaciers formed. Later, as the glaciers melted, the sea level rose. The cause of this glaciation remains a mystery. One suggestion is land plants caused it by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The drop in carbon dioxide could then have caused global cooling.

What caused the last mass extinction?
The Permian mass extinction occurred about 248 million years ago and was the greatest mass extinction ever recorded in earth history exterminating more than 95% of all life on EarthTwo theories have been proposed - the impact of a huge meteorite or comet over 10 kilometres in diameter, or a massive and prolonged volcanic eruption. The volcanic theory appears to be taking the lead at the present time.
