During the trek, however, Diego secretly meets up with two of his pack mates, who pass a message from Soto, demanding the baby Diego sends them back with a message to Soto, promising the baby and Manny. The trio takes the baby up north and meets a fanatical flock of dodos on the way, from which they procure food for the baby. Manny, unconvinced, decides to help Sid return the baby to his family, leaving the saber behind the humans' camp is abandoned and Manny reluctantly decides to head north to find the humans' settlement at Glacier Pass and return the baby, taking Diego along as a guide. The two meet Diego, who takes the baby, claiming that he intends to return him to the humans. Manny leaves, but Sid intends to return the baby to his "herd", which Manny will not help with. Manny and Sid journey on, Manny bothered by the sloth's constant talking, until the two find Nadia on a riverbank, weakened greatly by her jump over the falls, with hardly enough strength to pass her son to Manny before she disappears. The attack takes place, with Diego pursuing Nadia, but she escapes with Roshan, jumping over the waterfalls so that Diego returns to Soto with no baby the pack agrees to meet at Half Peak, where Diego will produce the baby for Soto. Soto, seeking revenge against the humans for wiping out half of his pack, intends to devour Runar's son Roshan in vengeance and plans an attack for the next morning. ![]() Soto, leader of a pack of saber-tooth tigers saber-tooth tiger, watches the humans with his trusted lieutenant, a cat named Diego.

Abandoned by his family, Sid attempts to migrate alone but runs afoul of his two rhinos best friends named Carl and Frank, who try to attack Sid but fail due to Manfred stepping in, only to leave Sid behind afterward. Team member Scott Elias, a paleoecologist at Royal Holloway, University of London, also announced in January that he has extracted beetles and other insects from peat samples taken from the site.20,000 years ago, a grumpy mammoth named Manfred and a enthusiastic ground sloth named Sid are left behind during the migration for the ice age.

While winter weather has put a hold on excavations at the site, scientists are analyzing many of the 600 fossils found so far-thought to date to at least 130,000 years ago-at the Denver museum's laboratory. Construction workers stumbled upon the Ice Age treasure trove in October while working on a reservoir-expansion project. The bison skull is part of a "bumper crop" of Ice Age animals recently discovered at the site, including American mastodons, Columbian mammoths, tiger salamanders, and a Jefferson's ground sloth-the first ever found in Colorado, according to the Denver museum. ![]() "I'm trying to think of a cooler fossil that I've even seen in my life," dig team member Kirk Johnson, chief curator at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, said in a statement.
