The mammoth was a species of elephant that first appeared in Africa around 4.8 million years ago and became extinct around 3,600 years ago. Mammoths were larger than modern elephants, with some imperial mammoths measuring over 5 feet tall at the shoulder and weighing up to 12 tons. There were several different types of mammoths that varied in size. While scientists debate the exact cause, the mammoths likely went extinct during the last ice age due to multiple environmental factors.

Smilodon was a large saber-toothed cat that lived during the last Ice Age until about 11,000 years ago. It had powerful front legs and weighed around 200 kg, though it was not a fast runner. Smilodon hunted thick-skinned prey like mastodons and horses using an ambush technique given its short legs. Thousands of Smilodon fossils have been uncovered in North and South America, providing evidence of this now extinct predator.
Mammoth
Mammoths were a genus of extinct elephant relatives that lived from 4.8 million to 4,500 years ago. They were well adapted to cold environments with long hair, small ears, and large size. The woolly mammoth survived the longest, until around 3,750 BC in Alaska and 1,650 BC on Wrangel Island. The causes of their extinction are debated but likely involved climate change and human hunting. In 2007, the remains of a one-month old mammoth were discovered frozen in permafrost in Russia.
Mammoths by Loren
Mammoths were large animals that lived during the last ice age but are now extinct. They became extinct around 10,000 years ago at the end of the ice age. Mammoths ate around 700 pounds of grass per day using their trunks to gather large clumps of grass and feed. They were in danger during the ice age from other predators like snow tigers and early humans who hunted them for food and used their tusks for shelter.

Amazon river
The Amazon River, usually abbreviated to The Amazon Spanish and Portuguese: Amazonas, in South America is the largest river by discharge volume of water in the world, and either the longest or second longest.
The headwaters of the Apurímac River on Nevado Mismi had been considered for nearly a century as the Amazon’s most distant source, until a 2014 study found it to be the Cordillera Rumi Cruz at the headwaters of the Mantaro River in Peru.[10] The Mantaro and Apurímac join, and with other tributaries form the Ucayali River, which in turn meets the Marañón River upstream of Iquitos, Peru, to form what countries other than Brazil consider to be the main stem of the Amazon. Brazilians call this section the Solimões River above its confluence with the Rio Negro[11] to form what Brazilians call the Amazon at the Meeting of Waters at Manaus, the river's largest city.

The document discusses several animals native to Australia including kangaroos, dingoes, koalas, kookaburras, wallabies, and wombats. It also mentions that Aborigines lived in Australia for at least 12,000 years before Europeans arrived.
Bio Koala Powerpoint 2
The document discusses the koala, including its scientific name, taxonomy, history, characteristics, behavior, diet, reproduction, and threats such as habitat loss and disease. Key points are that koalas are tree-dwelling marsupials native to Australia that feed exclusively on eucalyptus leaves and have adapted numerous characteristics for their arboreal lifestyle. They are currently threatened by habitat destruction, overpopulation in some areas, and diseases like Chlamydia.
Climate and Wildlife of Australia
Australia is geographically isolated and has a unique climate, with winter in July and summer in December. It is home to many unusual animals found nowhere else, like kangaroos, koalas, platypuses, and echidnas. Though most of the continent is dry, the northern and coastal areas have humid forests and rivers like the Murray River. Australia also contains diverse landscapes and ecosystems, and is particularly known for the Great Barrier Reef off its northeast coast.

The document discusses the endangered Asiatic lion population found in India. It provides background on what endangered means, describing how the Asiatic lion population declined to around 180 individuals by the late 1960s due to hunting and loss of habitat. While the population has since increased, the lions remain restricted to the Gir Forest National Park and surrounding areas in India. The document outlines conservation efforts to protect the remaining Gir lion population to ensure the survival of the species.
Koalas by elizabeth ponce
Koalas primarily live in eastern Australia and have the scientific name Phascolarctos, meaning "pouch bear". They mainly eat eucalyptus leaves and average 9-20 lbs, measuring 27-36 inches. Female koalas carry their young, called joeys, in their pouch for around 5 months after a 35 day pregnancy. Koalas sleep for much of the day to conserve energy and move between trees by jumping or swimming.
Koala veronica
Koalas are a well-known Australian marsupial known for their thick grey or brown fur. They have large hairless noses and round ears, strong claws, and feed exclusively on eucalyptus leaves. Female koalas have pouches where their young live after birth. Koalas live in forests across eastern Australia where eucalyptus trees provide food and habitat.

Australia and its amazing sights make it a fantastic place to visit.
Mammoth
Mammoths were large, hairy elephants that lived from 4.8 million to around 4,500 years ago across Europe and northern Asia. They had long hair, tusks, small ears and were large in size, all adaptations for the cold climate. Mammoths likely became extinct due to a combination of climate change and hunting by humans. In 2007, the preserved remains of a one-month old mammoth were discovered in Siberia, buried for 37,000 years.
Treball Mamut English
Mammoths were large, hairy elephants that lived during the last ice age. They could grow up to 5 meters tall and weigh up to 12 tons. Mammoths lived in herds led by matriarchal females or solitary males. The last mammoths disappeared from Europe and Siberia around 10,000-8,000 BC and North America at the end of the last ice age, likely due to climate change reducing their habitat and increasing human hunting pressures.

The woolly mammoth lived from around 2 million years ago until around 10,000 years ago, during the last ice age. They inhabited Asia, Europe, and North America and ranged in size from 9 ft to over 15 ft tall. Mammoths had long tusks used for mating rituals, protection, and digging in snow for food. The longest tusks were over 17 feet long. Mammoths are now extinct, but are known from fossil remains and frozen carcasses found in these regions. Hunting is believed to have contributed to their extinction around 10,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age.

Evolution of FROG
Approximately 360 million years ago, the first amphibians left the sea and were successful on land due to a lack of predators. Triadobatrachus, dating back 250 million years, was an early frog-like amphibian found in Madagascar that retained primitive characteristics like a short tail and 14 vertebrae compared to modern frogs' 4-9 vertebrae. While frogs evolved adaptations over 300 million years ago and remain widespread today, they are among the most threatened creatures due to factors like pollution, global warming, and disease, with amphibians at risk of being the first major group of vertebrates to go extinct.

A Visit to La Brea Tar Museum
1.0 Introduction
The visit to the La Brea Tar Museum would be one of the most influential experiences in my career and life as whole. The visit is one of the events that enhance my passion to advance my career in a history-related discipline. I believe that only the visit could equip me the immense knowledge that I now possess concerning some of the most admired historical facts and concepts. Through the museum tour, I have gathered substantial knowledge regarding the Pleistocene extinction. I now appreciate that most of the largest mammals that the present generation might admire to see perished during the Pleistocene era. Moreover, I have learned the lions, cats and other members of saber-toothed cat family have shared ancestry. I appreciate that the huge and powerful canines possessed by the saber-toothed cat family was a crucial component of their survival ways. The visit to the museum has familiarised me with several facts about the extinct camels. I admit the fact that camels are presently associated African and Asian deserts though; they originated from North America. On the other hand, the tour to La Brea Tar Museum has cleared my doubts regarding dinosaurs. Presently, I have indisputable knowledge about dinosaurs and the early carnivores. I have clear understanding on how dinosaurs emerged, survived as well as their extinction. Concerning the early carnivores, I admit that adaption to their feeding methods like the huge and powerful canines have not changed significantly throughout the evolution.
2.0 Pleistocene extinction
In essence, the visit to the La Brea Tar Museum enhanced my knowledge concerning the Pleistocene extinction. I learned from the visit that the change of climate among other factors led to the death of the last mammoths. It is clear to me that the mammoths disappeared approximately 3,700 years ago according to the human recorded history. Some historians associate the extinction with the comet impact and human actions. I am aware that the human beings contributed to the extinction of mammoths and Saber-toothed cats among other animals after visiting the La Brea Tar Museum. The impact of Pleistocene extinction was so extensive that it led to the loss of giant ground sloths, terror birds and the spotted hyenas in Europe. I have learned from the visit that the Pleistocene extinction was a world disaster and it did not take place at once (Haynes, 2009). Notably, the geological pattern of the extinction indicates that the extinction assumed the path of wandering human beings. During the tour, I read well that climate change and human beings are the key culprits of the Pleistocene extinction though, some historical scientists claim that a falling comet triggered the extinction. The mammoths disappeared shortly after human beings settled in th ...
Extinction
The document discusses several extinct species including the Quagga, Tasmanian Wolf, English Wolf, Turanian Tiger, Steller's Sea Cow, Spectacled Cormorant, Passenger Pigeon, Golden Toad, Caribbean Monk Seal, Pyrenean Ibex, Phororhacos, Spix's Macaw, Bubal Hartebeest, Javan Tiger, Tecopa Pupfish, and Baiji River Dolphin. Many of these species went extinct due to hunting and habitat loss.

Camel Evolution by @Sana_Haroon
Camels evolved over millions of years from small, forest-dwelling ancestors without humps into the humped desert dwellers of today. Their earliest ancestor, Protylopus, lived 46 million years ago in North America and resembled a small rabbit. Over generations as camels migrated to Asia and Africa, they developed longer legs and necks, and adaptations like humps and thick fur and eyelashes to survive in hot deserts. Modern camels live in deserts in parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East and have evolved to efficiently store water in their humps and withstand high temperatures.

The mammoth
- 1. THE MAMMOTH
- 2. INTRODUCTION The mammoth was from the same family of the elephants (they’re very similar). This species, appeared in Africa, in the Sahara desert, 4,8 millions years ago. They disappeared about 3.600 years ago. Scientists argue why they became extinct, but they think that there were many factors.
- 3. DESCRIPTION The mammoth was bigger than the normal elephant of today. There were many types of mammoths. One of them was called the Imperial mammoth, because measured five feet shoulder. The normal mammoth weighed between six and eight tons, but sometimes, some mammoths arrived to the twelve tons. Most of them measured like the asian elephant.
- 4. THE EXTINTION The scientists think that they been extinct in the last ice age, but i’ts not sure. After the ice age, a population of the San Paul island sourvive until around 6000 BC, and the mammoths dwarfs don’t benn extinct until around 2000 BC.
- 5. This is a photo of a baby mammoth. It was found a few days ago (octover 2010) . It was frozen in a bloc of ice and it was in perfectly conditions.
