Concise explanations of species' traits and habits.It describes in detail and stunning illustrations what they looked like, what they ate and how they fought, lived and died. Organized by the major dinosaur families, Dinosaurus identifies 500 species. No other life-form captures the imagination like dinosaurs.
The plant-eating colossus is the largest dinosaur ever found - it weighed around 77 tons-as much as 14 or 15 African elephants! Perhaps most exciting is that in 2016 the American Museum of Natural History opened a new exhibition featuring the astonishing, newly discovered 122-foot-long titanosaur, yet to be named.
"Superduck," at 5 tons and with a mate-attracting head crest it is thought to be a missing link between two other known duck-billed head-crested dinosaur species. The new 5-foot-long dino more resembles a feathered poodle than the brute of Jurassic Park. Zhenyuanlong suni, a cousin of Velociraptor, suggests that this family has been inaccurately depicted. The "Chicken from Hell," a bird-like beaked, clawed and feathered dinosaur that roamed the Dakotas. Yi qi (" ee chee", "strange wing"), the earliest known flying non-avian dinosaur. Many incredible discoveries made 2015 a banner year. At the same price and fully revised, this edition of Dinosaurus is simply too exceptional a value to pass up. Now 13 years have passed during which there have been dozens of discoveries. "Magnificent in its breadth and illustration."ĭinosaurus was published in 2003 and went on to sell 15,000 in hardcover and more in paperback.
