I went to the La Brea tar pits in the LA area a while back, and it’s hard to fathom that animals such as camels, mastodons, saber toothed tigers, giant sloths, etc roamed that area a mere ten thousand years ago at the end of the last ice age.
Talk about climate change! Fascinating place.
You visited The Tar Pits tar pits?

Almost as if a changing climate is the normal climate on a planet dominated by water. Funny that.
