Grab your warmest winter coat, because we are traveling back in time 20,000 years to a world covered in ice! What was the Ice Age? It was a freezing time in Earth's history when huge sheets of solid ice towered two miles high into the sky! But the extreme cold wasn't the only amazing thing—the world was ruled by giant, incredible beasts called Megafauna. Imagine walking alongside a colossal woolly mammoth covered in three feet of shaggy hair, or a giant ground sloth the size of an elephant! Watch out for the terrifying sabre-toothed cat and its eleven-inch fangs! How did early humans survive with these mega-monsters roaming around? They used incredible teamwork and smarts! Discover how our ancestors carved tiny sewing needles from bone to make windproof coats, and built massive houses using the bones of 149 mammoths! You'll also learn about a secret grassy bridge connecting entire continents, an amazing hunting tool that launched spears at 100 miles per hour, and a real baby mammoth perfectly frozen in time! Join Mira and Finn on this freezing adventure into the Pleistocene Epoch!
