[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1770283, member: 42463"] Horses and camels both breed like vermin... They must have been competition for forage with bison at one time. Look at the way they have become problems in Australia. And a small number of stone age hunters traveling in groups of ten to thirty on foot drove them to extinction? Maybe the animals were a lot slower back then... I'm not trying to convince you to change your mind... just pointing out the disparities involved. I can imagine a slow moving herd of mammoth being followed and killed off one by one. Maybe several at a time being run off a cliff occasionally. A single wooly rhino, giant armadillo, or giant sloth being taken as opportunity presents. They may have already been on the decline and as their numbers got fewer they simply couldn't find each other to breed. Horses and camels? Not so much. And the grass did change at the same time as the extinctions. I can't just toss that off as though it doesn't matter. I'll just continue to keep my mind open and keep gathering information. It's not like a conclusion is required. [/QUOTE]
