Mammoth Steppe

The Mammoth Steppe was a vast, icy-covered region that existed during the last Ice Age, roughly 60,000 to 10,000 years ago. It stretched across northern Eurasia and North America, characterized by a cold, dry climate with grasslands and tundra. This environment supported large herbivores like mammoths, bison, reindeer, and other grazing animals. The Mammoth Steppe was a crucial habitat for these species, maintaining a delicate balance between climate and wildlife. Its disappearance is linked to climate warming and human activity, leading to the extinction of many of its iconic megafauna.
