Abstract
It is no secret that during the Ice Age there were some large mammals with whom we no longer meet. Most of them died (perhaps mammoth, woolly rhinoceros), others still survive in the Arctic (muskox) or in the harsh, continental environment of Central Asia (sajga).
But how was it with their little animal companions, who had to be disproportionately more? Do we know anything about them? Did they share a similar fate?
