> Their date is based partly on their depictions of now-extinct ice age animals, such as the mastodon, a prehistoric relative of the elephant that hasn’t roamed South America for at least 12,000 years. There are also images of the palaeolama, an extinct camelid, as well as giant sloths and ice age horses.
The article doesn't describe what other means were used, but this is important.
It's also a little disappointing that there are no close-up, high-resolution images of the extinct megafauna being depicted. I imagine the interpretation of what constitutes a Giant Sloth, for example, could be quite subjective.

I got the impression that this announcement was more or less a teaser for their upcoming show, which is due to premiere in a few days. Perhaps that's why they didn't reveal too much. They've certainly aroused my interest enough to tune in.
