This "underground library" shows what Australia's climate was like 350,000 years ago. Naracoorte Caves study shows Australian ice age was wetter, more animal-friendly, than first thought.
Fascinating! The accommodating conditions during the ice age could be another reason why animals evolved differently in Australia vs. the rest of the world.
