Megalodons were a huge species of shark that lived from the Oligocene epoch through the Pleistocene epoch. Megalodons lived in almost every sea in the world and, like the modern sharks of today, were fish. Woolly mammoths were a large, hairy elephant that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. They lived on the tundra ,among other habitats, and were mammals.
The Pleistocene epoch occurred between 1.6 million to 11,000 years ago. It is known as the ice age, because large sheets of ice covered much of the earth.
The Pleistocene era was only 18,000 years ago, so the continents looked largely like they do today. The main exception was the large spread of continental ice sheets that caused Europe and North America to be connected.
No, they are now extinct, they existed worldwide from the Eocene epoch to the end of the Pleistocene epoch (42 million years ago to 11,000 years ago). They evolved to prey on large mammals such as Elephant and while an odd human may have been killed by one, humans were not their prey animal.
any period of time during which glaciers covered a large part of the earth's surface; "the most recent ice age was during the Pleistocene"
Homo erectus lived alongside various animals during the Pleistocene epoch, such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, giant ground sloths, and early hominins like Homo habilis. They would have encountered a diverse range of megafauna like woolly rhinoceroses, giant deer, and other large mammals that roamed their environment.
A large division of time can be called an era, epoch, or eon.

It can cover much of a hemisphere, as the ice sheets did in the Pleistocene Ice Age.

Yes, the dire wolf was one of the abundant Pleistocene megafauna, a wide variety of very large mammals that lived during the Pleistocene. About 10,000 years ago around the end of the last ice age the dire wolf became extinct along with most other North American megafauna.
Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons were both species of hominids that lived during the Pleistocene epoch. They are both closely related species of humans with similar physical characteristics, such as large brains and robust bodies. Both species also used tools, had complex social structures, and engaged in symbolic behavior.
