The Cenozoic Era is the most recent of the three major subdivisions of animal history. The other two are the Mesozoic and Paleozoic Eras. The Cenozoic spans only about 65 million years, from the end of the Cretaceous the history of mammals began long before the Cenozoic began. The diversity of life during the Cenozoic is far wider than mammals. The Cenozoic could have been called the "Age of Flowering Plants" or the "Age of Insects" or the "Age of Teleost Fish" or the "Age of Birds" just as accurately.


Cave lions, saber-toothed cats, cave bears, giant deer, woolly rhinoceroses, and woolly mammoths were prevailing species of the Quaternary Period. Without the dinosaurs, plant life had an opportunity to flourish during the Cenozoic Era. Nearly every plant living today had its roots in the Cenozoic Era.

One of the animals that exist during this era is a mammoth or Mammuthus. An extinct animal like a large elephant .Commonly equipped with long curved tusk and covering of long hair their fat allowed the mammoths to increased their muscle mass serves as protection. 




Modern day plant life is enormously diverse. This characteristic can be attributed to the expansion of angiosperms during the late Mesozoic Era, and the rest of the Cenozoic Era.



Verbena Bonariensis is a member of the verbena family cultivated as a flowering annual or herbaceous perennial plantone. One of the seeding plants in the world that exist today. It is tall and slender perennial. The stem is square with very long internodes.

Now today we are living in the Holocene epoch in the Quaternary period of the Cenozoic era. And today Cenozoic era still exist and still  continues  everyday times ticking until one day we just realized that were totally extinct and another era began with new species
