Artistmetaphorically. The diverse life of Doggerland Doggerland was a veritable paradise for a wide variety of animals and plants for thousands of years. As the area was colder and drier, the vegetation was more like a tundra, with mosses, lichens and dwarf shrubs. The fauna was dominated by large mammals adapted to the cool climate. Wildlife: Woolly Mammoth: This iconic prehistoric elephant was one of the most common animals on Doggerland. Woolly Rhinoceros: Another large mammal that was well adapted to the cold climate. Steppe bison: A prehistoric bison species that was larger and more powerful than modern bison. Cave lion: A large cat species that was a top predator in the area. Reindeer: Reindeer were also common and adapted to the arctic climate. Horses: Prehistoric horse species that were smaller than modern horses. Plant life: Tundra vegetation: As mentioned, tundra vegetation was dominant, with mosses, lichens and dwarf shrubs. Birke forest: Later, when the climate became milder, birch forest spread over parts of Doggerland. Grasses and herbs: There were also various grasses and herbs that could thrive in the open landscape.
Doggerland thrived as a unique ecosystem, featuring tundra vegetation and a range of large mammals like woolly mammoths and cave lions. Its diverse flora evolved from mosses to birch forests over time.
