Official synopsis Publisher
Photographically realistic color paintings capture 120 genera of dinosaurs-plus other prehistoric animals-organized according to evolutionary relationships. If these grand creatures still walked the earth today, this would be the field guide you’d take on your “dino safari” to identify them! Each one appears in its habitat, a fact file that gives you information at a glance: each creature’s length and weight; a physical description; its diet; and more. To get a good sense of its comparative size, a small sketch of the dinosaur appears next to that of another animal-like a human or elephant. Look on the world map to see where the Theocodontosaurus, Plateosaurus, Chasmosaurus, or others dwelt, and on the timeline to learn when. Plus: an introduction provides general background on dinosaur classification and traits.
