ICE & THUNDER - When Mammoths Walked the Earth ~ with CHRIS WIDGA

Описание: When we think of the Ice Age, we think of mammoths - majestic, woolly elephant-relatives that roamed the ancient world and that were constantly hunted by humans. But what is their real story?

CHRIS WIDGA is a vertebrate paleontologist and zooarchaeologist whose main interest is the evolution and extinction of North American proboscideans – specifically, mammoths and mastodons. Chris is also the Head Curator of the Gray Fossil Site & Museum.

MARK from Evolution Soup talks with Chris about the evolution of mammoths, the difference between mammoths and mastodons - and the possibility of bringing them back by cloning!
