In Ice Age Giants Of The South, Judy Cutchins and Ginny Johnston offer a superbly presented and illustrated survey of the fossil record of the large animals the lived during the Ice ages which began some 1.8 million years ago and ended about ten thousand years ago. From saber-toothed cats, dire wolves sand woolly mammoths, to mastodons, giant sloths and armadillos. Of special interest is the illustrated and informative sections on land bridges between continents, caves and sinkholes, ancient grasslands, the role of teeth in paleontological excavations, and what finally happened to those "giants of the ice age". The splendidly illustrated text is further enhanced for young readers with a glossary, a list of scientific names, and an index.
