Pleistocene (Dancing Queen - ABBA)

Ooh

Moa birds

Mastodons

Bear dogs and diprotodons

Ooh, get in your

time machine

Go to the Pleistocene

 

Land is covered in ice and snow

Eleven thousand years ago

Ancient humans like Lucy

Giant ground sloths, too

and giant kangaroos

Don't get trapped in the sticky tar

The animals here are quite bizarre

Bears that have short faces

Gophers that have horns

History leaps off the page

here in the last ice age

 

This is the Pleistocene

Comes right af-

ter the Pliocene

Pleistocene

Giant beasts roam around the scene, oh yeah

Saber-toothed

Smilodons

Dire wolves and glyptodons

Ooh, right before

Holocene

This is the Pleistocene

 

Megafauna was strange, no doubt

but soon enough they all died out

Maybe it was hunting

maybe climate change

History leaps off the page

here in the last ice age
