Paleontologists and their Pets

Since ancient times, people have found fossilized bones and shells of strange, incomprehensible creatures in the ground. For thousands of years, they did not understand to whom these remains belonged and tried to explain their nature in various ways: by... the existence of giants and monsters, magic, and the Great Flood. Gradually, scientists began to suspect that the remains belonged to some animals and finally were able to assert: long before the appearance of humans, peculiar beasts, fish, and lizards lived, from which fossils remained. This book tells about these pioneers of paleontology, their amazing discoveries, and bold hypotheses. In it, you will meet the brilliant Georges Cuvier and his mastodon, the famous Charles Darwin and his toxodon, the brave Mary Anning and her ichthyosaur, the writer and paleontologist Ivan Efremov and his titanophone, and many others.
