Image_taken_from_page_485_of_'Bibliothek_geographischer_Handbücher._Herausgegeben_von_..._F._Ratzel'_(11307137526)_(2) Thousands of years ago, large parts of the world, including much of the UK, was covered by huge ice sheets. But despite these harsh conditions, many animals still survived. In this activity, students will find out what animals lived during the Ice Ages, how we know, and investigate how they coped with the cold climate.
