ice age

Scientists are hoping to create Asian elephants that can withstand sub-zero temperatures like mammoths once did in order to help conserve the Arctic.

The extremely rare fossil belonged to an animal that has not been seen since the last Ice Age.

The island's ancient ice sheets are melting faster than expected and at unusual times of year because of climate change, scientists have found.

George Church is a co-founder of Colossal Biosciences, which is attempting to develop an animal that closely resembles the giant creature.

Scientists looked at eelgrass or seagrass communities on the North Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America.

A long-standing theory that an equatorial belt of warm water fostered life during the Earth's ice age has been dismissed by a new study.

The 8-ton creature, dubbed Buesching, was killed around 13,200 years ago in what today is northeast Indiana.

"Any parent will recognize that... It's a glimpse backwards [in time]," archaeologist Joe Watkins, a member of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma, told Newsweek.

"This shot is a farewell, a send-off on our own terms," the description of the video by former Blue Sky Studios artists stated.

Only one other like it has ever been discovered in the area, though its whereabouts are currently unknown.

Paleontology hobbyists Derek Demeter and Henry Sadler made the extraordinary find, along with several others, on April 25.

Matthew Perkins and his husband were having a pool installed in their Las Vegas house when workers stumbled upon a creepy relic from the planet's last ice age.

The creature's internal organs, including its teeth and some of its intestines, have been preserved for tens of thousands of years.

Bones from a fossil rich site at Tanque Loma in Ecuador offers clues to how a group of 22 plus giant sloths met their end 18,000 years ago.

The circle, named Kostenki 11, was about 40 feet in diameter with no obvious entrance.

The Yarrabubba impact crater in Western Australia is the oldest in the world.

The 330-foot-long structure was created with boulders from a river over a mile away.

The latest known fossils belonging to extinct human species dated to between 117,000 and 108,000 ago.

Researchers find first direct evidence of a "glacial oxygen pump," which they say extended an essential lifeline to the simple life forms that inhabited the Earth at the time.

Archaeobotanists at the University of Glasgow in Scotland have identified more than 75 species of plant frozen alongside Ötzi.

The Pliocene epoch was a paradise for primates. But that ended 2.6 million years as ice sheets started to expand.

Short-faced kangaroos are an entirely extinct group of marsupial herbivores that arose during the Miocene Epoch—around 23 to 5.3 million years ago—and diversified prolifically during Australia's Ice Age.

The trees in the forest would have been about 10 feet tall and resembled palm trees.

Researchers are probing the forest to see if humans ever lived there.

The collision triggers a chemical reaction that causes carbon dioxide to be sucked from the atmosphere.

The formations were "sculpted by 320 million years of ice, wind, and the movement of entire continents," the National Trust said.

These rock formations help to support the idea of a rapid Earth freeze over 700 million years ago.

Dried meat may have offered a long-lasting source of food in a changing rainforest.

If a gene conferred a survival advantage, people with the mutation would have more offspring and the mutation would become more common in subsequent generations.

Scientists think the genetic mutation behind these teeth protected babies against an intense lack of sunlight.
