You're full of absolute shit, Europeans were just the peanut on the turd. Ever since proto-Asians crossed Beringia North America has gone to hell, killing the sabertooth tigers and hunting all the really fucking cool megafauna to extinction. There used to be giant sloths here, and sloths are so chill.
Yeah, king. Motherfucking North America was like Africa, except less hot.
woolly mammoths
Columbian mammoths
American mastodons
three types of ground sloths
glyptodonts
giant armadillos
several species of horses
four species of pronghorn antelopes
three species of camels
giant deer
several species of oxen
giant bison

Until now I wasn't aware that giant armadillos were a thing I really wish existed.
Don’t forget about the giant beavers (Castoroides ohioensis)!

That IS a giant beaver. Oh dear.
Not likely wiped out by humans because they were probably already gone, but oreodonts are pretty cool too. They basically looked like pig dogs. And we don't know if they were related to pigs, camels, or hares. Which is a funny verity of possible relatives.
Pour one out for the giant sloths.
nobody talks about the real natives, the chainsaw-claw pumas
So it’s the “proto-asians” we should all be angry at 🤔
