Prehistoric Mammals with Modern Mammals for Comparison

These are some prehistoric mammals.  Some are from more recent times and some are those that lived with the dinosaurs.   I will tell you what era each picture is from.  These are all older drawings. . . no new drawings here.  So you will need to click on the Animals button above or on the Paleontology Button or on the All Printables button and scroll down to find them  They won't be on the very bottom because newest drawings are on the bottom of the lists.


Wooly Mammoth Hunt
Some evidence suggestes that ancient Man may have contributed to the extinction of this animal.


Elephant Mommy with Calf
This was a drawing done for Mother's Day.  All mammal mommies nurse their babies with milk.

Jumbo with Fans
Jumbo was one of the biggest known elephants.  He was a circus elephant.
  He was also an African Elephant, the biggest living land animal on Earth.


Indricotherium
This was very big animal.  It was the biggest mammal ever to live.

Indricotherium Wooly Mammoth size comparison




Smilodon on Cliff
 This is a large type of Saber tooth Cat.  Sometimes people say "saber tooth tiger" and that's ok, but Saber Tooth Cat is more correct.


Jaguar attacking a Caiman 
Jaguars are not the largest living cat in the world, but they are the biggest cat in the Western Hemisphere.  That means they are the biggest cat in North and South America.

Cougar on a Mountain Top
Cougars are the second biggest cat in the Western Hemisphere.  This cat is very athletic and can jump out of a 30 foot tall or 9 meter tall tree.  They have many names.  Cougar, Puma, Mountain Lion, Mountain Screamer, Devil Cat, Catamount, Panther, Indian Cat, Red Cat, and several more names that  I can't think of right now.


Necrolestes Grave Robber Mammal Necrolestes
This lmammal species lived with dinosaurs and way beyond.  It may have been present on
the Earth for close to 50 million years.  That must be some kind of record for a species
to survive that long.   It possibly stole dinosaur eggs and ate carrion. . . hence the name grave robber.


Coral Pink Sand Dunes Plants and Animals 1
The mammals in this drawing are a Pinyon Mouse on the left and an Antelope Squirrel on the right.  They both live in the Coral Pink Sand Dunes part of Utah, USA.  In Southern Utah. 


Coral Pink Sand Dunes Plants and Animals 2
The mammals in the drawing are also from the Coral Pink Sand Dunes. 
The fox is a Common Gray Fox.  The jumping rodent is a Kangaroo Rat.  These mammals from the Coral Pink Sand Dunes are all nocturnal. 


T. rex vs Didelphodon
Didelphodon was a species of mammal from the late Cretaceous Period. 
It was probably nocturnal. . . meaning it was active at night.  .    .
like the small mammals form the Coral Pink Sand Dunes.
