The Carolina Pleistocene - The Age of Mega Mammals with Dr. Steve Fields

Well, with Gabrielle traveling, I had to do this podcast on my own, but I'm not flying solo, I have a special guest!  Join Dr. Steve Fields and I on location from the Museum of York County for a fabulous exhibit and discussion about the Pleistocene Epoch in the Carolinas.  It's hard to believe that there were mammoths, terror birds, cheetahs, giant porcupine, ground sloths and more, but there were!  Listen as  Dr. Steve discusses what this unbelievable epoch would've looked like, from the climate, vegetation, all the way to the incredible diversity and amazing size of the unique animals that would've roamed the Carolina countryside.Here's some more information on the Pleistocene Epoch:https://www.thefossilforum.com/blogs/entry/265-the-early-pleistocene-marine-fauna-of-the-southeastern-united-states/https://www.britannica.com/science/Pleistocene-Epochhttps://www.georgiasfossils.com/20-the-ice-ages-pleistocene--holocene-epochs.htmlhttps://www.livescience.com/40311-pleistocene-epoch.htmlWant to Visit the Museum of York County and other York County museums?Featured in this podcast:  https://chmuseums.org/myco/Additional museums of York County:  https://chmuseums.org/Interested in having Marvin and Gabrielle speak at your event?  Email us below for more information!Email us at www.walkingonthewildside21@gmail.comFollow us on our two webpages to see photos and blogs about our podcasts and nature in general:Nature Nook PhotographyWalkin' on the Wild SideYou can listen directly from our website at: https://walkinonthewildside.buzzsprout.com, or from any of the major podcast platforms, such as Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Audible, Spotify, iHeart Radio, TuneIn, Stitcher, and more!Subscribe to our podcasts on any of these platforms and leave us a review!We hope you enjoy listening to our podcast and welcome your emails, comments, and feedback.  Hopefully, we will inspire you to get out there and start "Walkin' on the Wild Side"!
