Pleistocene Megafauna
Metafilter ran an article today about the Pleistocene era and the megafauna of North America, but I found the info to be a little lacking and thin compared to the typical MeFi post, not to mention their misspelling of "Pleistocene." Therefore, in an effort to more fully explore this topic, and not as a personal rub to namespan for posting the thin article, here is a comprehensive collection of links about the Pleistocene era, and the monstrous mammals that ranged across North America.

• First, the geological timescale


• Wikipedia article on the Pleistocene


• The MegaFauna page of Mefi contributor Kokogiak


• Terrestrial Evolutionary Biotas


• The Ice Age including a Pleistoene Bestiary
