Virtual Tour - Ice Age

The last Ice Age peaked about 20,000 years ago, after which the Earth again began to warm. Fossil evidence shows that by about 15,000 years ago, Ice Age people were roaming the plains and forests in North America, hunting enormous mammals with stone-pointed spears. Most of those animals were extinct by about 10,000 years ago. Did changes in climate or over-hunting by man cause the demise of Ice Age mammals? Scientists are still debating. Meanwhile, you can come face to face with the fossils of a long-tusked American mas todon, a towering giant ground sloth, a saber toothed cat poised to kill, a big horned bison, and dozens of other Ice Age animals.
