Animals such as woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats that hunted in packs, huge sloths, giant armadillos and possums that roamed the vast snowfields were typical of Ice Age fauna. However, animal life during the period of Earth's history called the Pleistocene was characterized by much greater diversity. Rhinos, hippos, deer and gazelles, ancient species of elephants, wild horses and giant tortoises grazed on the plains of Europe and Asia. They fell prey to cave lions, giant leopards and cave hyenas. All of these animals are featured in this book. It also examines the herbivores and large predators of other continents and describes the hunting strategies of the largest wolf in history, the so-called dire wolf, in North America, the largest member of the saber-toothed cats, the smilodon, in South America, the giant crocodile, Sorbjarnarson crocodilus, in Africa, the largest lizard, the megalania, in Australia, and the record-sized ancient shark, megalodon, in the oceans. This edition, with impressive illustrations, presents an authentic ice age.
