This Is What Earth Was Like During The Ice Age

This Is What Earth Was Like During The Ice Age

We’ve become so accustomed to how the Earth is in the present day, we can hardly imagine it being any different.

Let alone massively different like it was back in the Ice Age. It wasn’t just colder, it wasn’t just icier, almost every facet of life on Earth was drastically different.

So, what was the earth like during the Ice Age? In today's video we will describe it to you in the best possible way. So, watch the video and then don't forget to subscribe and leave your opinion in the comments! Thank you!

The Saber Tooth Tiger didn't go extinct - it just quit drinking and now is known as The Sober Tooth.

Australia during the Quaternary iceage remained the only continent after the extinction of the dinosaurs where a reptile remained the apex predator that being Megalomania.

Good Morning WildCiencas Interesting Video I'm alway's thinking about the past how the world was during the day's of the Dinosaurs 🦕🦖 The Ice Age and The People who lived back in those day's. I love History Archaeology etc.... Very interesting; Thank You For Sharing 👋👍😃

I love cold weather- we need another ice age🤘🏻

I live in Southern California were people still find fossils. Periods of heavy rains 🌧 washes away a lot of terrain and landslides. A few years ago a good friend of mine found the intact skull of a Bison Priscus. It was huge. He still has it. Of course rhere is the Labrea Tarpits in Los Angeles. Where millions of ice age fauna and flora have been excavated North America and especially the south-western united states was the savage land as recently as 10, 000 years ago.

Sea levels that were 400ft lower than today sounds nuts

Life would have been good at the Equator those days!

Sure am glad we have all this global warming…..

Let's face it. You have no idea why they went extinct.

You forgot to mention the giant elephant species that dwarfed most mammoths - the Palaeoloxodon Namadicus andi ts African cousin, Palaeoloxodon Recki. They lived in Africa, India, and other parts of Asia.

The big thing to add with the end of the last ice age was that more than becoming warmer, many regions also became WETTER.

For while many parts of the world may have seen snow and ice on a year-round basis in the last ice age, it should be noted that this wasn't truly the case everywhere. And that much of the year round cold during the period meant that there could be less water vaper in the sky to condense and become rain, sleet, or snow... at least not in great numbers. This in turn allowed for vast planes of grass and hay that covered much of Europe, northern Asia, and what is now North America... These were the great Mammoth Steppes. And they fed more than just Mammoths. All of these animals were able to thrive in a region that was actually rather dry with grass being the dominant plant.

And to a degree, we can even see how a lot of this has survived into the modern world. Note that looking at Africa, where the eastern savannahs have the largest number of large herd animals that aren't megafauna and the most species of animals that are megafauna. The region is a largely semi-dry plain with various kinds of grasses as the dominant plants. These grasses then FEED all the herbivores that live there, and the abundance of them has allowed for Cape Buffalo to have their large herds and for Elephants, two species of Rhinoceros, and Hippopotamus to all live together. A change in the amount of water would change things in Africa today...

And it was a change in water levels in the atmosphere that saw to an end to the Mammoth Steppe. For when temperatures rose at the end of the ice age, they didn't become so hot that no snow would fall anywhere. In fact, in many areas outside of the tropics in both the northern and southern hemispheres, winter temperatures would still be below freezing. But they wouldn't be so cold as to prevent there from being enough water vapor in the atmosphere to provide for larger amounts of precipitation. This led to more fields of snow that animals like the Wooly Mammoth and Wooly Rhinoceros actually HADN'T adapted for. It also led to the growth of forests that many ice age megafauna hadn't adapted to, which helped their decline along.

Maybe if the Egyptians used the Mammoths 🦣 to help build the pyramids, they could have saved the species. 🔺🔺🔺🦣🦣🦣

Wild Ciencias Prospect:: Could orcas survive the Triassic Jurassic and Cretaceous periods.? And would they still be top predatory creatures orchestrating in pods?

"Back in the Ice Age?" It's sad to see that ignorant line leading off the video. We are STILL in the current ice age, which began around 3 million years ago. We just happen to be in one of many warm interglacial periods that have occurred during this time, and this one is not the warmest. What this simpleton narrator refers to as "the Ice Age" was just the most recent glacial maximum.
