Check out Animal Wonders!    • Meet and Greet: Tigli the Arctic Fox!  

The Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse set the stage for a takeover that would be a crucial turning point in the history of terrestrial animal life. If it weren’t for that time when the rainforests collapsed - in an extinction event that you probably haven’t heard of - our ancestors might never have made it out of the swamps.

Thank you to these paleoartists for allowing us to use their wonderful illustrations:
