For the past 30 years, studies of their skulls, jaws and teeth suggested cave bears might have been largely herbivorous.
T Rex is cool, but man probably never saw one in the flesh, lets take a trip to the Pleistocene age. Where men had to kill or be killed, to eat or be eaten. This is where the human food chain began!!!!Our ancestors had lots of predators and competitors to worry about —... more
