Animal Adaptations to Climate
Animals were also on the move in other parts of the world. The mammoths continued to migrate over Europe and Asia. The woolly mammoth developed a thick fur and began to graze in the spruce forests that bordered the ice. The rhinoceros also moved into Europe and central Asia and developed a coat of thick fur for surviving in the cold conditions. Its front horn grew to extreme lengths, reaching nearly a meter, and some researchers have suggested that legends describing the survivors of this species may have led to the myth of the unicorn. The massive and dangerous archaeocyonids, or bear dogs, were enormous predators whose bones are still found in caves today. In Europe, Panthera leo spelaea, a large species of cave lion, roamed the mountains in search of bison and other prey. In North America, Smilodon, the saber-toothed cats, traveled over the more warm and savanna-like regions of what is now the southwest United States
