In a future where all megafauna is extinct and where technologically advanced humans are highly skilled at genetic engineering, future people 500 years hence genetically create ungulate-like grassland people, cold-weather tundra people, scansorial forest and woodland people, and gilled, seal-like aquatic people (Dixon 1990). ❋ Darren Naish (2006)

And in Canada designer Amy Nugent has taken things a step further, "harvesting" highway hits from bears and moose (what you might call megafauna) through to porcupines to fashion a celebrated jewellery range (www. roadquill.ca) that includes bracelets and tie slides. ❋ Unknown (2009)

As the climate changed, the Clovis people fell prey to the same problem that the "megafauna" had -- whatever it may have been. ❋ Unknown (2010)
The dire wolf, or canis dirus is only one of the many large animal species or "megafauna" that became extinct in North America about 11,500 years ago. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Woolly mammoths, giant sloths, saber-toothed cats and dozens of other species of "megafauna" may have become extinct when a disintegrating comet or asteroid exploded over North America with the force of millions of hydrogen bombs, according to research by an international team of scientists. ❋ Gregvaneekhout (2007)
It turns out that the "megafauna" e.g., giant, fantastical monstrous beasts of Australia likely co-existed with its earliest human inhabitants, who had to dodge "three tonne wombats" and the "world's all-time biggest lizard." ❋ K. A. Laity (2005)
