Saber-toothed cats went extinct between 8,000 and 10,000 years ago, as the ice age drew to an end and their prey began to die out. Even so, these formidable hunters certainly left their mark on the world – quite literally here at White Sands, as we have found their footprints!

The aptly named 'rainbow squirrel', or Malabar giant squirrel, adds a welcome touch of pizzazz to the upper canopies of the forests in central and southern India.
