Woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos in a prehistoric landscape.

Woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos in a prehistoric landscape.

A scene from somewhere in the Ukraine or northern Poland about 18,000 years ago. Woolly mammoths and woolly rhinos shared the landscape with ancient giant elk. There have been no known giant teratorns found, but I have included one that may be more related to ancient large vultures. In the background is a receding glacier that is calving and creating a large lake that empties into the nearby Baltic Sea.
