Drought Reveals Rare American Lion Fossil in Dried Up Mississippi River

I'm always amazed when reading about the sheer size of ice age animals that existed. I kinda get how dinosaurs were able to get so large, due to environmental factors at the time, but you would assume that food was sparse during the ice age. How did the ecosystem support large mammals?

In a similar vein, the drying of Lake Mead is revealing bodies of victims of accidents and foul play: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thefocus.news&#x2F;culture&#x2F;why-is-lake-mead-drying-up-fourth-set-of-human-remains-discovered&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.thefocus.news&#x2F;culture&#x2F;why-is-lake-mead-drying-up...</a>

Unfortunate they don&#x27;t seem to have any pictures in the article of this animal. Just a top level image showing some barges on the river. Anyone have an alternate link that shows images?
