7 Giant Animals That Are Now EXTINCT (Part 2)

2. Bison Latifrons – The Biggest Bison Ever

Bison latifrons was the largest and heaviest bison species in history.

• Size comparable to an SUV
• Horn span so wide a car could fit between them
• Lived in North America

It evolved from steppe bison that crossed into North America via the Bering Land Bridge. Over time, abundant food caused it to grow much larger.

It went extinct around 10,000 years ago due to human hunting and climate changes.
