The Paleogene Period had begun with a hot and humid climate, but the climate was becoming cooler and drier. The cooler temperatures were the signal of many changes coming to the earth. The thick tropical forests would not be able to survive the cooler, drier climate.
If we could go back in time and feel the climate at the end of the Paleogene, we would say it was quite warm. Compared to our climate today, it was still pretty hot! The plants and animals could feel the changing climate and as time marched into the next period, many of them would have to adapt or die.
