Maybe those palm species were carnivores.

What a life for the polar bears. They could eat coconuts and hunt for seals off the beach.

And all of it was caused by the acts of Man,especially the use of cars and trucks using fossil fuels.

When South America and Antarctica were connected, the Antarctic Current we have today was impossible, and warm ocean currents were diverted south around the continent. It was ice-free at that time.
