Welcome to the Animal Series

Prehistoric life refers to the plants, animals, and early humans that lived before written history began. It includes dinosaurs, ancient sea creatures, flying reptiles, early mammals, Ice Age animals, and the lost worlds we know today through fossils and archaeology.

The Ice Age was a long period in Earth’s history when massive glaciers covered large parts of the planet and the climate was much colder than today. It was home to powerful animals like woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats, giant ground sloths, dire wolves, and other creatures adapted to frozen landscapes.

Modern animal life includes the wildlife that shares Earth with us today, from lions, elephants, bears, wolves, birds, and reptiles to whales, dolphins, and ocean creatures. These animals live across forests, deserts, mountains, grasslands, rivers, and seas, showing how life continued to adapt and thrive after the Ice Age.
