Description
Summary:Professor Alice Roberts journeys 40,000 years back in time on the trail of the great beasts of the Ice Age. High in a cave in the Grand Canyon, Alice discovers the mummified poo of the grizzly bear-sized Shasta ground sloth. Lying in the sands of Arizona are the shelled remains of a glyptodon. On the coastal plains of California, Alice encounters the vast Columbian mammoth, an animal far larger than any elephant today. These leviathans all have one thing in common: they were stalked by the meanest big cat that ever prowled the Earth, armed with seven-inch teeth and hunting in packs-Smilodon fatalis, the sabre-toothed cat.
