Giant (Long-horned) Bison (herd of 4) - Bison latifrons
Bison latifrons is an extinct species of bison that lived in North America during the Pleistocene. Also known as the giant bison, it reached a shoulder height of 2.5 metres (8.5 feet), and had horns that spanned over 2 metres (6.5 feet). The known dimensions of the species are much larger than either extant species of bison (it was approximately twice the body size) and other extant large bovids, and B. latifrons may be the largest bovid in the fossil record. B. latifrons reached a shoulder height of 2.5 meters (8.2 ft) and weighed over 2,000 kilograms (4,400 lb).
Woolly Mammoth - Mammuthus primigenius
The woolly mammoth (Mammuthus primigenius) is an extinct species of mammoth that lived during the Pleistocene until its extinction in the early Holocene epoch. It was one of the last in a line of mammoth species, beginning with Mammuthus subplanifrons in the early Pliocene. The woolly mammoth diverged from the steppe mammoth about 400,000 years ago in East Asia. Its closest extant relative is the Asian elephant. The appearance and behaviour of this species are among the best studied of any prehistoric animal because of the discovery of frozen carcasses in Siberia and Alaska, as well as skeletons, teeth, stomach contents, dung, and depiction from life in prehistoric cave paintings. The renowned Woolly mammoth, M. primigenius, was probably the most successful mammoth that occupied the whole of Eurasia and North America. The European form was considerably larger than North Siberian specimens, surpassing 6 tonnes (6.6 tons) in body mass and 315 cm at the shoulders on average, with particulary big specimens exceeding 8 tonnes (8.8 tons) in mass.
