Also known as the Zhoukoudian fauna. A group of fossil mammals found in the deposits of the Zhoukoudian Cave on the outskirts of Beijing, which is said to have coexisted with Sinanthropus pekinensis (Peking Man). It includes hyenas, Machairodus (a type of saber-toothed tiger), Chinese rhinoceros, Sanmen horse, Trogontherium (beaver), Yang's tiger, pika, bighorn deer, and Naumann's elephant, and is representative of the mammal fauna of northern China in the middle Pleistocene. Compared to the Nihewan fauna from the early to early middle Pleistocene, it has stronger Palearctic elements and lived in cool temperate forests or grasslands, transitioning to the next loess fauna, which is believed to have lived in a colder, drier environment.
