These animals have long since gone extinct and are known mostly from fossils, from frozen, mummified carcasses, and even from ancient cave drawings. The Last Ice Age The last Ice Age started about 70,000 years ago and ended about 10,000 years ago (during the Pleistocene epoch). The Earth was much colder than it is now; snow accumulated on much of the land, glaciers and ice sheets extended over large areas and the sea levels were lower. These phenomena changed the surface of the earth, forming lakes, changing the paths of rivers, eroding land, and depositing sand, gravel, and rocks along the glaciers' paths. What Is a Mammal? Mammals are animals that have hair, are warm-blooded, and nourish their young with milk. Mammals evolved during the Triassic period , about the same time that the first dinosaurs appeared. Some modern-day mammals include people

The only surviving fleshy-fins, however, are the famous coelacanth (Latimeria) of the Indian Ocean and three genera of lungfish, all of which are cousins of the land vertebrates rather than their ancestors. More typical was Eusthenopteron from the Upper Devonian (350 million years ago) of North America and Europe. This carnivorous fresh-water fish, 1-2 feet long, had lobe like fins with strong muscular bases, nostrils which opened into the mouth and primitive lungs. In times of drought It could crawl on land from pool to pool in search of water and food. 02 ICHTHYOSTEGA (Greek: 'fish roof') Half-way from fleshy-finned fish to amphibian was lchthyostega, 3 feet long, from rocks of eastern Greenland laid down in fresh water at the end of the Devonian period (345 million years ago). It still had a tail-fin like that of a fish and a remnant of the bones covering the gill-chamber but it is considered to be the earliest known amphibian because of the well developed limbs and limb girdles which are essentially those of a land animal, and the backbone was strengthened to support its weight when out of water. lchthyostega was probably truly amphibious in its habits. 03 ERYOPS (Greek: 'long face') This was a typical member of the labyrinthodonts, the large amphibians of the Carboniferous, Permian and Triassic. Eryops itself lived in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico in Early Permian times (about 260 million years ago). It was a large, bulky animal, 5-6 feet long, which probably lived a truly amphibious life like that of modern crocodiles; the rather flattened head, armed with big teeth, suggests that it was a fish-eater. The backbone and other parts of the skeleton were very strongly built; it crawled slowly and awkwardly on its belly, pushing with its short bent legs. Bony nodules in the leathery skin formed a heavy armour.

Its forefeet bear some resemblance to hands and are used as such, for it digs up small mussels out of the sand, which form its food when there are no acorns or chestnuts to be had . It is fattest in autumn and winter, when it lives in hollow logs like a bear without seeking food. The do not hibernate as long as do the bears. In a severe winter it retires for two whole months, otherwise, only four weeks. The flesh is wholesome and tastes like bears' meat and its skin is useful to hatters.

Non-Dinosaur Prehistoric Animals Flyers courtesy of FWMSH Archaeopteryx (ARK-e-OP-ter-ix) considered to be the first bird. It is a bird because it had feathers. However, it retained many dinosaurian characters which are not found in modern birds, at the same time, having certain characters found in birds but not in dinosaurs. Archaeopteryx is an example of a trasition between dinosaur to bird. It lived in the Late Jurassic period, about 150 million years ago. Quetzalcoatlus (KET-sal-ko-AHT-lus) a pterosaur with a forty-foot wingspan, is the biggest animal ever to fly under its own power. It was the size of a jet fighter. It lived at what is now Big Bend, Texas, near the end of the Cretaceous Period, and went extinct at the same time as the big dinosaurs. For millions of years both pterosaurs and birds existed on Earth, but now pterosaurs are gone and birds fill the skies. Quetzalcoatlus may have eaten carrion like a vulture, or perhaps it plucked mollusks from the mud of river floodplains with its beak.

On September 7th, 1979 El Salvador issued a set of 6 stamps dedicated to prehistoric mammals that lived in our territory during Cenozoic Era. The issue's title is " Prehistoric Fauna from El Salvador ". El Salvador does not have dinosaur fossils because Central America appeared when dinosaurs were died out. During Mesozoic era the most part of Central America was marine bottom and was located where now is Mexico; for this reason the oldest life evidences are corals, algas, crabs, etc The first fossil's excavation in El Salvador were made by cientists David J. Guzman and Jorge Larde. In their papers, they make references to some sites where they found fossils. In 1942, a paleontologist studied Salvadorean prehistoric mammals, his name was Dr. R. A. Stirton. Dr. Stirton discovered seven extint mammals that lived here. Now, the Natural History Museum of El Salvador had done an effort in order to catalogue our collection of prehistoric fauna and flora. During 70's, a paleontologist named Steve Perrigo arrived under initiative of Servicio de Parques Nacionales and Natural History Museum. He did excavation in many places and confirm the variaty of Pleistocene Central American fauna (last period of Cenozoic era). In that period

The only knife remaining from the Lewis and Clark Expedition is in the National Park Service archives at Fort Clatsop, Oregon. Several dozen tons of ivory are recovered from the vast reaches of northern permafrost every year. Most of those tusks come from trunk-bearing animals which became extinct in the late Pleistocene era. Several species of mammoth and mastodon represent the sources of this ivory. Its value lies not only in its venerable age but also in the fact that thousands of years of being buried has often led to changes in color. From brown to turquoise to nearly black, these different colors can be used by the skilled craftsman to achieve wonderful effects. And, of course, it is especially suited for the depiction of prehistoric animals. These pieces serve as examples of Gross's versatility in ivory carving as well as price guidelines for new orders.
