Other exotic animals included the woolly rhinoceros; giant bison, bears, ground sloths, and beavers; tapirs and horses; and peccaries and wild hogs. The dire wolf and probably saber-toothed tigers were among the many predators

hunting these animals. These creatures lived in Indiana during most of the past million years, but they all became extinct by the end of glacial time. Their remains have been found in lakcbeds and swamps that formed about 10,000 years ago. Remains of musk ox, caribou, moose, and elk also verify that Indiana's climate was much colder at times in the past.

L& LOSERS The longest winning streak in baseball history occurred between Sept. 7 and Sept 30, 1916 when the New York National League team won 26 games in a row A long streak of losses has been experienced by union organizers. For instance, only about 22% of the U. S. work force are union members, it’s only 10% in the textile in dustry, and after almost 15 years of all-out effort, union organizers have achieved the representation of less than seven percent of the workers at J.
