A few nice extinct animals images I found:


Steppe Bison

Steppe bison ranged throughout northern Europe, Asia and Beringia during the Ice Age. It lived in Beringia throughout the last 700,000 years, and was one of the most widespread animals of this region. It appeared in only a few scattered places in the rest of western North America.

These large bison were hunted by humans in Europe, Asia and North America. The most recent known fossils are about 8,000 years old. Steppe bison may have evolved into the wood bison and plains bison of today, rather than becoming extinct along with many Ice Age animals 10,000 years ago.

These animals survive on poor quality pasture in the grassland/bush mosaic sandwiched between the wetter coastal forest and the drier thorn-scrub hinterland of eastern Kenya around the Tana river area. It was once also found in a large part of southern Somalia but is very likely now extinct there.
