Eocene Epoch

The Eocene Epoch (about 56 million to 34 million years ago) was a time when mammals rapidly evolved and diversified. After the extinction of the dinosaurs, ancestors of modern mammals such as horses and whales appeared, and birds and reptiles also evolved. The Earth was extremely warm, with forests even in the polar regions. During this period, a sudden temperature rise, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), significantly impacted the climate.
