Como foi a Era do Gelo no Brasil (e quase ninguém sabe) | Documentário Completo

About 20,000 years ago, the Brazil you know simply didn't exist. Where today there are crowded beaches, soybean fields, and concrete cities, there was something else: TUNDRA. Glaciers descending from the mountains of Rio Grande do Sul. A climate impossible to imagine for those who grew up believing that Brazil has always been tropical. And those who walked these frozen lands were creatures that seemed to have come from a nightmare: sloths the size of elephants, armadillos the size of small cars, giant bears larger than any living land animal today, and saber-toothed cats that were the most lethal thing to set foot in the Americas. This is the story of the Brazilian Ice Age — a chapter of our prehistory that practically no school teaches, but which completely shaped the fauna, the vegetation, and even the arrival of the first humans to the South American continent. In this documentary you will discover: ▸ Why Brazil remained frozen even though it is near the Equator ▸ What the glaciers that advanced over the south of the country were like ▸ The megafauna that dominated our territory — Arctotherium, Smilodon populator, Megatherium, Glyptodon, Toxodon, Macrauchenia ▸ What happened when the ice receded and why these giants disappeared ▸ How the first humans survived in this almost unrecognizable Brazil Subscribe to the channel for more documentaries about the forgotten chapters of our history and the history of the world. 🔔 Activate the bell so you don't miss the next episodes. #IceAge #PrehistoryOfBrazil #Megafauna #Documentary #AncientBrazil #Pleistocene #SmilodonPopulator #Megatherium #1Documentary
