Dinosaurs. Illustrated Encyclopedia

An encyclopedia dossier on the most dangerous creatures that ever existed on the planet: giants that shook the earth as they walked, fierce predators, and terrifying monsters that lived in the depths of the sea and ruled the skies. A detailed description of over 70 species of dinosaurs is complemented by unique information that helps answer the most complex questions: why are paleontologists sure that the lizard looked exactly this way and not otherwise? How were they able to calculate the bite force and speed of movement of a creature that has long disappeared from the face of the Earth? How did scientists learn about the habits and feeding methods of prehistoric lizards? This book is an opportunity to conduct a real paleo-detective investigation, visually compare the sizes and behaviors of ancient lizards and modern animals, and gain a complete understanding of each inhabitant of the incredible world of dinosaurs. And the extremely realistic illustrations and surprising comparisons will aid the investigation: only from this book will you find out who is more powerful: triceratops or rhinoceros, Argentinosaurus or elephant, Quetzalcoatlus or airplane!
