  2. How they were preserved The mammoth was walking and then it was in some sticky tar. He ended up getting stuck and then he died cause he couldn't get to food. So when he died then they tar encased the mammoth and is air locked. So then the body is unable to decay

  3. What animals lived Most of the animals that lived at that time were invertebrates, birds, and some mammals. Some animals were like the animals that you could see on the earth right now. Some are like turkeys, horses, wolf, bear, and lions

  4. Climate Change We know that this former Los Angeles is more wet and damp then present day. We know this because scientists were able to recover spores from the tar pits. But if you learned spores only reproduce in water. So there was ferns and different spore reproducing plants. So there was a wide variety of plant so many species of animals could live there.
