Ailuropodinae is a subfamily of Ursidae that contains only one extant species, the giant panda (Ailuropoda melanoleuca) of China.The fossil record of this group has shown that various species of pandas were more widespread across the Holarctic, with species found in places such as Europe, much of Asia, North America and even Africa.

A 2023 paper concluded that under the high-warming SSP5–8.5 scenario, 51.8% of birds would lose at least some habitat by 2100 as the conditions become more arid, but only 5.3% would lose over half of their habitat due to an increase in dryness alone, while 1.3% could be expected to lose their entire habitat.

The choristoderes (a group of semi-aquatic diapsids of uncertain position) survived across the K–Pg boundary [35] subsequently becoming extinct in the Miocene. [99] The gharial-like choristodere genus Champsosaurus ' palatal teeth suggest that there were dietary changes among the various species across the K–Pg event.
Population bottleneck followed by recovery or extinction.
