Ice Age Mammals

Ice Age mammals were large animals that lived during the Ice Age, a period when Earth's climate was much colder and much of the planet was covered in ice. These species included mammoths, saber-toothed cats, giant bison, and mastodons. They were well adapted to cold environments with thick fur, fat layers, and other features. Many of these animals went extinct around 10,000 years ago, likely due to a combination of climate change and human activity. Their remains help scientists understand how animals adapt to climate shifts and the impact of environmental changes on species survival.
