A photo taken in 2002 shows the jaw from the skeleton of a giant marsupial lion, thylacoleo carnifex, from a cave in the Nullarbor Plain. Caves in the Sun-scorched, treeless wilderness of southern Australia's Nullarbor plain have revealed one of the world's most remarkable collections of fossils, including species of now-extinct kangaroos that lived hundreds of thousands of years ago.(AFP/HO/File/Clay Bryce)

Of the 69 vertebrate species found in the caves, 21 did not make it through the Pleistocene, an era that spanned 1.8 million to 11,550 years ago and led to the Holocene, as today's post-Ice Age period is called.

Global warming was killing species even back then.
