Many of the plants and animals that live on Cape Cod today as well as extinct animals such as mastodon and mammoth survived the ice ages by occupying the emerged Continental Shelf south of the ice front as well as ice free regions throughout North America south of the glacial limit. This mastodon and calf are part of a life-size diorama at the New York State Museum in Albany. Photograph supplied by Robert H. Fakundiny.
