Oligocene Information

The Oligocene Epoch (33.9–23 million years ago) was a time of cooling climates and the transition to more modern ecosystems. Following the warm Eocene, global temperatures dropped, leading to the expansion of grasslands and the first permanent Antarctic ice sheets. Forests shrank, and grazing mammals like early horses, deer, and rhinos thrived in open landscapes. Primates evolved, with the ancestors of monkeys and apes appearing. In the oceans, whales diversified, and the first seals emerged. The Oligocene also saw the formation of major ocean currents, which further shaped Earth's climate. This period set the stage for the Miocene, with continued cooling and the rise of more modern mammal species.
