Ice Age Giants

A look at the terrain of the Sabre-tooth cats of ancient Northern America when it was a continent covered in large areas by ice. Other beasts including mammoths and large sloths also roamed the territory competing for survival.

Alice ventures to the parts of the Northern Hemisphere hit hardest by the cold, Europe and Siberia; high in the mountains of Transylvania, a cave sealed for thousands of years reveals grisly evidence of a fight to the death.

Professor Alice Roberts journeys 40,000 years back in time on the trail of the great beasts of the Ice Age; this was the last time that giants like mammoths, woolly rhinos and sabre-toothed cats ruled the planet.
