Eons: When the Sahara Was Green

A group of Hippos and Giraffes are grazing in a forest.

The climate of the Sahara was completely different thousands of years ago. Rock art from the region reveals a climate that was wet and covered with plants. Scientists have collected data that supports the notion that the ancient climate of the area enabled animals and humans to live in the middle of the Sahara. Part of the "Eons" series.
