And yet we are relative newcomers here. While other creatures roamed this part of North America for hundreds of millennia, we only arrived at the end of the last great ice age, 13,000 years ago. For most of its existence, North America remained untouched by humans, its dramatic landscapes and wild life undisturbed. Then some time around 13,000 years ago, just as the ice started to relax its grip, hunters from the north set foot in Florida for the first time. Imagine if we could go back and join them as they explore this unknown land, encountering strange animals not seen before by human eyes.
然而在这里,我们还只能算是初来乍到。其他生物已经在北美的这块土地徘徊了数十万年,而我们在13000年前的大冰河时期末期来到这里。对大多数存在的生物,北美仍是人类未及之地。这里风景优美,野生动物未受打扰的生活着。约在13000年以前,冰川开始渐渐化去,猎人从北而来,第一次涉足弗洛里达。想象一下,如果时间倒退,我们将追随者猎人的足迹,探寻这未知之地,遇见人类从未见过的奇异的生物。
