內容簡介
冰原大融化
大約260萬年前，地球氣溫突然驟降，下起大雪，整個地球被冰雪覆蓋，海洋凍結，部分動物因而絕種。地球變暖後，存留下來的動物顯得巨大而怪異，如短面熊、長毛象，巨大樹懶會和劍齒貓打架，巨鳥盤據天空。

本書除了帶讀者認識什麼是冰原、冰原起源於何時、冰原時期的動物…，作者也透露其實現在我們也在冰原時期，因為污染、輻射造成地球發燒，極地的冰又開始融化了，值得省思。
Nearly three million years ago the Ice Age began. Oceans froze, ice sheets covered land and animals, along with humans, found ways to thrive. These prehistoric creatures were weird, wonderful and enormous. Explore the Earth continent by continent and come face to face with Ice-Age megafauna, such as North America's short-faced bear - which was 3.7 metres tall, and mastodons - which weighed twice as much as a T. rex! Accompanying the images, lively text allows you imagine exactly what these mega animals were like!
