Ice Age Explorer: Elk

Elk

Elk were the prey for Sabre Toothed Tigers so had to be careful. They are similar to deer you see in Herefordshire today. Look out for these deer next time you go out into the countryside, and you might even see one drinking from an Ice Age Pond!

If you'd like to visit an Ice Age Pond in real life, then

to find out where you can go. There are a number of sites across Herefordshire so keep your eyes peeled on your walks and be sure to let us know what you find!
