Overview
Large mammals represent a diverse group of animals that have profoundly influenced Earth's ecosystems and human civilization. From the colossal elephants and rhinos of Africa and Asia to the powerful bears and moose of the Northern Hemisphere, these megafauna play critical roles as ecosystem engineers, seed dispersers, and apex predators. Historically, large mammals were crucial for early human survival, providing food, hides, and labor, but also posed significant challenges, leading to complex relationships of coexistence and conflict.
