Journey back in time to see the world’s most magnificent prehistoric beasts close up. The Magnificent Book of Prehistoric Beasts takes you on a journey back in time to an ancient world, where peculiar beasts roamed the Earth and swam in the seas. Meet the mighty woolly mammoth with its huge tusks for finding food, a saber-toothed cat with teeth as long as your arm, the Megalodon shark with a mouth big enough to swallow you whole, and the millipede Arthropleura with a body bigger than an adult human. Each prehistoric beast is depicted in stunning and accurate original illustrations. Find out about why the Trilobite’s legs had gills, how the giant fish Tiktaalik could walk on land, and why the elephant-sized slothlike Megatherium had such a long tongue. With stunning illustrations, intriguing facts, and full-color, poster-sized illustrations, this is the ideal reference for all the family. 36 PREHISTORIC BEASTS: Learn about dozens of ancient beasts, from Hallucigenia with its spiky, tentacled body shaped like a worm, to Titanoboa, the largest snake that's ever existed. BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED: Vibrant, detailed images bring these incredible animals to life. FASCINATING FACTS: Includes hundreds of fascinating facts in an easy-to-read format that will enthrall animal lovers of all ages.
