Quaternary megafauna refers to the large animals that lived during the Quaternary period, which began approximately 2.6 million years ago and continues to the present. This group includes species such as mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and giant ground sloths, many of which went extinct during the late Pleistocene and early Holocene epochs. These animals were characterized by their significant size, often adapted to cold environments, and their extinction is often attributed to a combination of climate change and human activities. Studying Quaternary megafauna provides insights into past ecosystems and the impacts of environmental changes.

What period comes after the quaternary period?
The Quaternary is the most recent geological time period, which started 1.67 to 2.4 million years ago depending on the area studied. The Quaternary is part of the Cenozoic ("new life") Era, along with the Tertiary Period. The Quaternary Period includes recent time (the last 11,000 years ago, since the last ice age) which is called the Holocene and the Pleistocene Epoch. There is currently much debate as to how long the Quaternary period is. There are considerations into re-classifying the Quaternary as it is "technically" too short to be considered a geological age. But this is a matter of much conjecture at the moment.
