Pleisto.. scenes!

Thank you Susanne and Fernando! :)

[quote="Caracal"]Thank you Bonnie  and Christophe! :)

 I made some trees like the one on top left (about 10), found some on fleat-markets (the little ones) and ordered others for a vey low price to china (but I had to elongate trunks and glue foliage again! )..   and Ooops  , I am just noticing the little lying firs I forgot on the left!!..

A really impressive scene. I especially like dire wolves. Great job. By the way, the little trees from flea-markets are original New Ray.

Thank you Komodo, I was not sure of the brand! they are rather easy to find here on flea-markets and very cheap. Not alone but mixed with others, they work.. :)

Thank you Andreas! :)

Auroch was the main big game during Mesolithic (10 000/7 000 B.P.) in the "Grands Causses" area I am origineted from. They were killed by bowmen who used arrows with very little silex flints!

Beautiful and realistic photography once again!

Thank you Bonnie! :)

Nice aurochs

Wonderful Aurochs. You need to protect them from the men's arrows

Thank you Andreas and Anna but don't worry, I have many and even cows: :)

   Usualy, in natural pits or abyss, far more ongulates than predators have been found but at the contrary, more predadors have been found in tar pits because the trapped animals didn't die quickly and had time to warn predators around them.

   More than 3600 dire wolves have been found and many smilodons in tar Pits but few grey wolves and lions. Last genetic analysis (one month ago) show that dire wolves were not wolves at all, and not directly linked with them and coyots arrived from Eurasia later.

   Here a beautiful draw from catalan artist and paleontologist Mauricio Anton that shows who were the masters in the prairie!
