BEASTS OF THE PAST
“ Upon the land roamed beasts with hair, some quite big and designed to scare. With claws so sharp and snarling nose, and fangs and teeth to chew on those who wandered out without a jot, as humans did not possess a lot.”
Since the dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago, life has evolved in many different ways and most of these animals are also now extinct. By the time of the last Ice Age, 2.4 million years ago, mammals had come to dominance. Many are now extinct too, but their relatives live on, like the elephant, rhinoceros, sloth, grey wolf and armadillo. On this page you can see a range of animals from the prehistoric period, some of whom may have terrorised Mooge!
