Please elaborate on megafauna.
As many megafauna did survive which are not neotonised. The elephant, 
great kudu, bison, buffalo, giraffe, zebra, giant red kangaroo, and 
others may qualify.
Is there evidence that the extinct megafauna died before or during the 
floods? I thought our ancestors had wiped them out shortly before.
