Episode 6 : "Mammoth Journey"
Filming locations: Yukon, Canada
30,000 Years Ago
The sixth episode takes place during the last Ice Age. It starts in the peak of the summer. The North Sea has become a grassy plain because the ice at the polar caps has caused the sea levels to drop significantly. Grazing on the plain are herds of Woolly Mammoth, Saiga antelope, and European bison. A clan of humans (Cro-Magnons) is also there spending the summer..jpg)
The central focus of the episode is the migration of the herd of mammoth as they travel 400 kilometers from the North Sea to the Swiss Alps for the winter and then back again in the spring.As the mammoth herd migrates south, the episode shows two large deer, the Megaloceros, fighting for rights to a harem of females.

As the male Megaloceros fight, a group of humans ambushes them, killing one. A mother mammoth and her baby are separated from the herd, but survive a stalking Cave Lion. Eventually the herd of mammoth reach the Swiss Alps and the mother mammoth and baby rejoin the herd.The episode also depicts a clan of Neanderthals, who have especially evolved to survive in the cold climate. .jpg)
One is charged by a Woolly Rhinoceros, but escapes, in part because of his stocky constitution. The climax of the episode is when the clan of Neanderthals attacked the herd of mammoth as they turn back to the north. The Neanderthals are gifted hunters who are able to chase a couple of mammoths off a cliff by using fire and weapons.
