Woolly Mammoths were large elephants that lived from about 120,000 to 4,000 years ago, during the last Ice Age. Cave paintings of the Woolly Mammoth have been found in France and Spain. Woolly Mammoths are closely related to the indian Elephan.These animals are members of the elephant family and close relatives of modern elephants.
Anatomy and Diet: Woolly Mammoths had long, black, shaggy fur and two huge, curving tusks. The tusks were used for protection and for digging in the snow for grass and other food. Woolly Mammoths were about 11.5 feet (3.5 m) long, 9.5 feet (2.9 m) tall and weighed about 3 tons (2.75 tonnes).
They had to adapt to cold, for this reason they had long her (which insulated its body and kept it warm), its long tusks (which it used to get food through the snow and ice, and also may have been used as protection), its small ears (which minimized heat loss), and its relatively large size (which also minimized heat loss).
Most populations of the woolly mammoth in North America and Eurasia died out at the end of the last Ica Age. About 12,000 years ago, warmer, wetter weather began to take hold. Rising sea levels swamped the coastal regions.
Its possible that the extintion of the mammoth was for diferent things:
-the climate change
-overhunting

Baluchitherium means "beast of Baluchistan".
The Baluchitherium was a hornless rhinoceros like mammals. It lived in Asia, including Kazakhstan, Pakistan, India, Mongolia i China. It is the largest land mammal known, with 5 to 5.5 metres tall at the shoulder and over 8 metres in lenght without the tail. It weighted over 10 up to about 20 tones. The neck was very long and it had a robust trunk.
The Baluchitherium was an herbivore that eat the leaves of the trees.
We don’t know for sure the causes of the extinction of the Baluchitherium, but we think that it can be, the ice age, a meteorite or climatic changes. We don’t know for sure because the Baluchitherium is a prehistoric animal, and we have little information of it.
The Glyptodon is extinct animal. Was lived in south and North American, 11.000 years ago. Is a mammal animal, it was an herbivore (also eat herb). It was a terrestrial animal (live in the land).

They live in hot habitats.
The extinction of glyptodon was from 11.000 to 8.500 years ago. The causes of extinction are that the humans destroyed their habitats to built village (prehistory). The humans hunted their, to use the shells to protect themselves from the climate adverse.
The European Mink has found in many regions of, Spain,France,Romania,Ukraine,Estonia, and great part of Russia.

the earth is hot and the pollution is agument.
Scientists have developed clear ideas regarding the future climate changes and recent events. According to the report: 12 of the last 13 years have been the warmest since records began, the ocean temperatures have increased at least three kilometers below the surface, glaciers, the snow-covered and have fallen in permahielo both hemispheres, the sea level is rising at a rate of almost 2mm a year, day and night cream, and frost are more scarce while the hot nights and heat waves are more frequent.
According to the authors of the report, the reason is obvious: "It is very likely that increases in greenhouse gases have. These increases will make a continuous planet 3 º C warmer by 2100, although the report acknowledges that one might expect increases of 4.5 º C to 5 º C. Given this scenario, the ice caps melt, there will be a rise in sea levels, floods, cyclones and storms.
In short, we are the creators of our own destruction.
There are many problems like, for example, the greenhouse.
The greenhouse os a construction to make the plants row up, why the greenhouse effect, because the atmosphere acts like susnlause, the greenhouse effect in involved gas, this gas is Co2.
Aida Tirvió Bakouch
In our planet there is a lot of pollution because the carbon dioxide produced by cars, planes, factories and more things that make a greenhouse effect.
This effect makes the temperatures rise up, because the carbon dioxide is like a glass that allows the sun rays enter but not to leave out, and the world worms more. This will also affect the poles, because with the change in temperature the glass melts, and many animals are left without habitat. This can cause some species went extinct.
When the glass melt, oceans increase the water level and the water is going to get more violent and inpredicable.If it happens, there will be more floods, tornados, hurricanes, etc.
Some people thinks that the climate is not changing because they are using a lot of fuel to make money. But there’s a conference cold Kyoto, were goes people from all the countries and they talk about what is happening and they began to try and agree about climate change.
To help stop global warming:
-We must recycle, reuse, in summer turn out the conditioned air, reduce carbon dioxide production and walk or use the bicycle.
-We mustn’t throw all things in the same container , throw things that can be used, use the car for short distances, put the heating very high , used a lot of things that we don’t need and use a lot of fuel or oil.
-We can have little containers in our house, use public transport and buy just the things we need.

The Earth is getting warmer because people are burning fuel: oil, gas and coal used in cars, aeroplanes, power stations… A lot of people are making too much carbon dioxide called green house gasses and that green house gas goes up into the air (it’s the greenhouse effect).
The world is hotting up and it’s people’s fault. There was a big conference at Kyoto in Japan to give solutions to the problem. Lots of promises were made but countries but some governments didn’t help.
Climate change is real: The ice in the Arctic and the Antarctic is melting,
sea levels and temperatures are rising, there are floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornados and storms.
We can do something to stop global warming.
- Use the public transport and walk.
- Reduce, reuse and recycle
- Leaving lights, heating, air conditioning, computers, TVs…on when you don’t need them, wastes a lot of energy.
Let’s do it!; "Guiño"){kind=small}
