Errr... OK, I'm putting my hand up for the dodo, passenger pigeon, tassie tiger and possibly neaderthal... but I really honestly don't think humans can be help accountable for the demise of the T-Rex and Velociraptor. Well, ok... we did knock off a few of em in those Spielberg movies.
Could you please accept Megaceros for Irish elk? It´s the official scientific name used in most documentaries. Actually I never heart it called Irish elk, but maybe it´s called so in USA. Thanks
Of course it is outrageous that any quiz should have an answer that you have never heard of. However the unavoidable fact is that the animal in question is not called Megaloceros. That is the name of the genus to which it belongs.
The species is called Megaloceros giganteus in Latin or in English (which the careful reader will have noted is the language of the quiz) the Irish Elk.
Many people around the world live in caves today. And I would think that many species of primate lived in caves without being the closest relative of humans.
I missed Irish Elk, because I couldn't remember the common name. I was wondering why megaloceros wasn't being accepted. Might not be a bad idea to let it accept megaloceros.
Can you accept Megaloceros for Irish Elk? I remember watching a paleodocumentary (I think Walking with Prehistoric Beasts) and they used Megaloceros to refer to the giant deer

Special thanks to Zoo Tycoon 2 Extinct Animals for most of these.
Also Smilodon should be accepted for Saber-toothed Cat.
terrible clue for t-rex. The archetypal carnivore with small arms was carnotaurus.....
