Difference between Elephant and Quaternary extinction event

Elephant vs. Quaternary extinction event

Elephants are large mammals of the family Elephantidae and the order Proboscidea. The Quaternary period saw the extinctions of numerous predominantly megafaunal species, which resulted in a collapse in faunal density and diversity, and the extinction of key ecological strata across the globe.
