Animal life in the last Ice Age consisted of a larger diversity of animals closely related to those that live today, including relatives of bears, lions, buffaloes, sloths, and monkeys as well as species known to be extant today. The climate of the time was overall colder in average global temperature, so many types of animals existed that were adapted to the cold (e.g. many types of mammoths); others were adapted towards life on the dry interiors of continents such as North America (e.g. Smilodon cats). A small sampling of extinct species known to have lived in the Ice Age is given below:
Mammuthus primigenius (the woolly mammoth)
Mammuthus columbianii (the Columbian mammoth)
Mammut americanum (the American mastodon)
Smilodon populator (the largest Sabre-toothed cat)
Glyptotherium texanum (giant armadillo)
Megatherium americanum (giant ground sloth)
Coelodonta antiquitatis (the woolly rhinoceros)
Arctodus simus (the giant short-faced bear)
Megalodon carcharodon (the giant white shark)
Panthera Leo spelaea (the cave lion)
Homo neanderthalensis (Neanderthal man)

Who discovered fossils of ice age animals?
Too many people to count. This year, Robert Taylor found a nearly complete skeleton of a woolly mammoth in Siberia. There a lot of them who discovered fossils of ice age animals. These people are called paleontologists.
What was not a thick snow or ice center in North America during the Ice Age?
The North American ice sheet during the Ice Age did not cover the central Great Plains region, which remained largely ice-free due to its relatively low precipitation levels. This area is known as the "ice-free corridor" and served as a passageway for plants, animals, and potentially human migration.
What were the climate changes in the ice ages?
Ice age? Let's see. People call it the ice age because there were cold temperatures during the winter and short and muddy summers. Glaciers covered the land and eroded the geographical features. After the ice age, everything dried up and many large mammals died. The ice age brought many perminent changes to the world. Hope this helps!
Why did hunters have to find new way to get food when Earth's climate began to get warmer?
because as the ice age went away animals died. So they farmed :)

What types of living things inhabited earth during the ice age?
Many animals that lived during the Ice Age resemble the animals that live today, they were just adapted to the colder climate. Animals such as the Wooly Mammoth, Sabre-Toothed Cat, Giant Armadillo, Giant Round Sloth, and Neanderthal Man lived during the Ice Age.
