Animals of the Ice Age: A Prehistoric Kingdom

Editor's Take

A short tour of the Ice Age megafauna that inherited the Earth after the dinosaurs, mammoths, woolly rhinos and the rest of the giant-mammal world. Compact and vivid, it is an easy entry into the age of mammals.

This film journeys back to the Ice Age, when giant mammals ruled the world that followed the dinosaurs. It brings creatures such as the woolly mammoth and the woolly rhino to life, exploring how they evolved to survive brutal cold. Along the way it explains what the fossil record reveals about these prehistoric giants and the world they inhabited. Vivid and educational, it is a short trip into a frozen lost age.
