In 2020 I illustrated LOCKED IN TIME, written by Dr Dean R Lomax. Here's my painting of two fighting Columbian mammoths, they will become locked together and die together.

This book would make a great Christmas gift! https://cup.columbia.edu/book/locked-in-time/9780231197281

Prehistoric Animals in Ice and Fire

I'm as fascinated by all the extinct prehistoric creatures that populate Planetos just as much as by the magical creatures.

Of course, we all know and love the Dire Wolfs raised by the Stark children.

And we remember the Woolly Mammoths rode by giants and that Mance Rayder led on the Wall.

Aurochs, which are a prehistoric bovine, are mentioned several times as well. Sometimes domesticated for plowing lands.

On the isle of Skaggos where Rickon is supposedly hiding, there are said to be unicorns, which may in fact turn out to be Woolly Rhinos.

And Cold Hands rides a Giant Elk beyond the Wall. In our world these are sometimes call Irish Elks.

Also mentioned are striped predator cats called Pouch Tigers that are similar to real world Thylacines.

There are even mentions of Velociraptor-like creatures called Tattooed Lizards.

Woolly Mammoth

The woolly mammoth, Mammuthus primigenius, is an extinct herbivore related to elephants who trudged across the steppe-tundras of Eurasia and North America from around 300,000 years ago until their numbers seriously dropped from around 11,000 years ago. A few last stragglers survived into the Holocene on island refuges off the coast of Siberia and Alaska. One of these - Wrangel Island - harboured the last known group of mammoths until around 3,700 years ago.

It's been 10 years ago since I went to the prehistoric beast event called "Ice Age Unfrozen" at Michigan Science Center in Detroit, Michigan, with my family members. Some of these guys are at least eight animatronic creatures; some were skulls, skeleton parts and even furry parts.

Two close-ups from my 2011 acrylic painting "Lion Cave." It features a family of cave lions (Panthera spelaea) and passing woolly mammoths (Mammothus primigenius).

Ice Age

An ice age is a period in which the earth's climate is colder than normal, with ice sheets capping the poles and glaciers dominating higher altitudes. Within an ice age, there are varying pulses of colder and warmer climatic conditions, known as 'glacials' and 'interglacials'. Even within the interglacials, ice continues to cover at least one of the poles. In contrast, outside an ice age temperatures are higher and more stable, and there is far less ice all around. The earth has thus far made it through at least five significant ice ages.
