University Centre Peterborough Animal Management and Animal Conservation Students Unearth the Past at Creswell Crags
21 October 2026
Animal Management and Animal Conservation students from University Centre Peterborough (UCP) traded the classroom for the Ice Age caves of Creswell Crags as part of their Evolution and Adaptations module.
During the visit to the prehistoric limestone gorge, students took a deep dive into the distant past, investigating how Palaeolithic humans coexisted with long-lost UK megafauna, including woolly mammoths, cave hyenas, and lions.
Hands-on field trips are designed to bring evolutionary science to life, offering UCP students a first-hand look at how ecosystems change over millennia.
