Life During the Cenozoic Era By Patti Hutchison

---

¹     What life forms roamed the earth during the Cenozoic Era? Look around you. Almost every type of flora (plant life) and fauna (animal life) on Earth has been around since the dawn of the Cenozoic Era.
 
²     During the early Cenozoic Era, forests covered most of North America. However, as the climate cooled forests died away, creating open land. Soon, grasses began to spread out over the plains. Savannas covered the land in the middle of the continent.
 
³     These grassy lands fed many mammals. They included members of the dog and cat families. Rodents and rabbits also fed on the grasses. Larger animals such as horses, antelope, and mastodons also lived on this land.
