Download or read book Giants of the Lost World written by Donald R. Prothero and published by Smithsonian Institution. This book was released on 2016-10-04 with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a hundred years ago, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle wrote a novel called The Lost World with the exciting premise that dinosaurs and other prehistoric beasts still ruled in South America. Little did Conan Doyle know, there were terrifying monsters in South America--they just happened to be extinct. In fact, South America has an incredible history as a land where many strange creatures evolved and died out. In his book Giants of the Lost World: Dinosaurs and Other Extinct Monsters of South America, Donald R. Prothero uncovers the real science and history behind this fascinating story. The largest animal ever discovered was the huge sauropod dinosaur Argentinosaurus, which was about 130 feet long and weighed up to 100 tons. The carnivorous predator Giganotosaurus weighed in at more than 8 tons and measured more than 47 feet long, dwarfing the T. rex in comparison. Gigantic anacondas broke reptile records; possums evolved into huge saber-toothed predators; and ground sloths grew larger than elephants in this strange, unknown land. Prothero presents the scientific details about each of these prehistoric beasts, provides a picture of the ancient landscapes they once roamed, and includes the stories of the individuals who first discovered their fossils for a captivating account of a lost world that is stranger than fiction.

Download or read book The Era of Earth Where Dinosaurs Ruled written by Siddhesh Chindarkar and published by SNC. This book was released on 2023-05-11 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dinosaurs were a group of reptiles that lived on Earth millions of years ago. They were some of the largest animals to ever roam the planet, with some species growing to be as tall as a two-story building. Dinosaurs first appeared during the Mesozoic Era, which is sometimes referred to as the "Age of Reptiles." This era lasted from about 252 million years ago to 66 million years ago and was divided into three periods: the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous periods. During the Triassic period, the earliest dinosaurs evolved from smaller reptiles. These early dinosaurs were not very large, and they were not the dominant animals on Earth at the time. However, during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, dinosaurs became much larger and more diverse.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive pocket guide to dinosaurs and prehistoric animals and the world they inhabited millions of years ago. Packed with more than seven hundred full-color illustrations, this definitive pocket guide paints a vivid portrait of extraordinary dinosaurs and prehistoric animals, and the ecosystems they lived in millions of years ago. This guide features authoritative text, crystal-clear illustrations, and a straightforward approach to revealing the fascinating lives and habitats of dinosaurs, pterosaurs, marine reptiles, and prehistoric beasts. The introductory section explains classification systems, geological timelines, the evolution of the dinosaurs, and how fossils form and are discovered by paleontologists. For ease of reference, the main body of the book is divided into three sections: the Precambrian and Paleozoic eras, when animals first began evolving; the Mesozoic era, which saw the flourishing and eventual extinction of the dinosaurs; and the Cenozoic era, when giant mammals walked the Earth. Each section is broken down into its geological time periods, and, within these, the species are organized according to habitat--whether they lived on land, in the water, or in the air. There are detailed profiles of 200 dinosaurs and other ancestors of modern animals. Each entry combines a precise, jargon-free description with full-color illustrations, skeletons, and replica models, annotated to showcase the unique features of the species. Maps show where each animal's fossils have been found, and many profiles are supported by photographs to show actual excavation sites.
