Occasional blizzards⁵ are another harsh reality of living in Beringia, but the drifting snow may at least provide a hunter with some cover. 

 

Saiga antelope⁶ can run at 40 miles an hour, and so far, this lion isn’t close enough to cause too much alarm. As long as they can keep it in their sights, they are safe.

 

Eventually, the sky clears and the blizzard⁴ stops. Then ravens⁷ announce that the weather has taken its toll⁸. This old mammoth⁹ has succumbed¹⁰ to starvation and cold. But its meat will help keep others warm. The hunting lion homes in with another member of the pride. They can soon see off the ravens, but they are wary—a fresh carcass may have attracted other more substantial competition.
