While North America, Europe, Northern Asia, and Australia have had many amazing extinct Megabeasts that many are familiar with, there is at least one place with lots of extinct megabeasts that don't get really any attention from the media, Sundaland. This is the place during the Pleistocene that is now Indonesia, only it was connected to mainland Asia. Post any data on the extinct megafauna of this region, and before anyone asks, yes, this includes the Ngandong Tiger.

About #2: Perhaps the Ngandong tiger extinction is related to the super volcano Toba (Sumatra) eruption which occurred 75.000 years ago...

Your link about the Ngandong tiger isn't valid...
