Mangled trees. Bushes for number 2s. Adults made clothes from tiger skin and shoes out of bear skin. Houses made from rocks, wooden doors and dirt floors. We had no technology and no shops. To have fun people would ride Mammoths, go hunting and fishing. People killed animals to survive. There were also lots of predators that killed mankind like Short Face Bears, the Saver Tooth Tigers, the Dier Wolves and the Giant Pigs. The Megaladon who ate sharks, whales and sea turtles. I hope you enjoyed listening to my speech. From Francis
