The Carolina Pleistocene - The Age of Mega Mammals with Dr. Steve Fields

  • Summary

  • Well, with Gabrielle traveling, I had to do this podcast on my own, but I'm not flying solo, I have a special guest! Join Dr. Steve Fields and I on location from the Museum of York County for a fabulous exhibit and discussion about the Pleistocene Epoch in the Carolinas. It's hard to believe that there were mammoths, terror birds, cheetahs, giant porcupine, ground sloths and more, but there were! Listen as Dr. Steve discusses what this unbelievable epoch would've looked like, from the climate, vegetation, all the way to the incredible diversity and amazing size of the unique animals that would've roamed the Carolina countryside.
