Richard Vaughan+FollowIce Age Giants: Where Did They Go?!Imagine North America packed with mammoths, saber-toothed cats, and giant sloths—then poof, they all vanished! Scientists are still arguing about what happened: Was it humans hunting too much, climate chaos, diseases, or even a comet crash? New tech is helping researchers dig up clues from old bones, but the real answer is still a mystery. Who knew ancient extinctions could be this dramatic? #Science #IceAgeMystery #Megafauna30Share
Jessica Hodge+FollowIce Age Elk Drama Uncovered!Imagine stumbling on a 13,000-year-old elk, frozen in time, with bite marks from an American lion! Scientists in Minnesota found just that, revealing a wild Ice Age food chain: lions took down the elk, dire wolves and short-faced bears joined the feast, and even ancient DNA confirmed the drama. The best part? This find is changing what we know about how predators and prey survived (and died) at the end of the Ice Age. Nature’s true crime, anyone? #IceAgeMystery #Paleontology #WildlifeDrama #Science40Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowMammoth Mysteries Solved by Old Bones!Turns out, those dusty old bones in museum basements are the real MVPs of Ice Age detective work! Scientists just used a wild new protein test (ZooMS) to ID ancient megafauna like mammoths and saber-toothed cats from bone fragments once thought useless. Now we’re learning who roamed where, when, and maybe even how humans played a part in their extinction. The coolest part? All this from bits of bone that sat ignored for decades! #IceAgeMystery #MammothMonday #ScienceIsCool #Science60Share
