What if you were dropped into the Ice Age?
You wouldn’t be the hunter — you would be the prey.
Smilodon, Dire Wolves, Cave Lions and the giant short-faced bear were apex predators that could even attack mammoths and early humans.
In this documentary we travel back tens of thousands of years to the Pleistocene — a world of mammoths, endless snow and predators far more dangerous than anything alive today.
You will discover:
• the terrifying Smilodon (saber-toothed tiger)
• the Dire Wolf packs
• the massive Cave Lion
• the giant short-faced bear (Arctodus)
• whether early humans could survive among them
00:00 — You Wake Up in the Ice Age (Hook Scene)
00:25 — The World Where Humans Were Prey
01:05 — Smilodon (The Killer Cat)
02:55 — Dire Wolf Packs
04:40 — Cave Lion
06:15 — Arctodus: The Giant Bear
08:05 — Cave Bear
09:30 — Cave Hyena
10:45 — Homotherium
12:05 — Megalania
13:40 — Haast’s Eagle
15:10 — Could Humans Survive?
16:40 — Why They Disappeared
18:10 — Final Thoughts
Some of these predators were larger and stronger than modern lions and could hunt megafauna including young mammoths.
We also explore why these animals went extinct and whether de-extinction science could bring Ice Age creatures back.
