Time of the Giants
Category: Uncategorized
The Middle and Late Jurassic periods saw the largest land animals ever to walk the Earth–the sauropods, along with predatory dinosaurs and plated and armored herbivores. At the other end of the size scale, some small meat-eating dinosaurs developed powered flight and gave rise to birds. This fully illustrated book also examines the scientific view of dinosaurs as living creatures. Once considered docile and inactive–like their distant cold-blooded reptile relatives–dinosaurs are now thought to have been active, energetic creatures that used a variety of methods to maintain a constant body temperature.

Now running wild with all dinosaur (and humor) lovers: the home care guide to these rowdy pets. It’s funny, its irresistible, it’s been a bestseller-and now it’s available at an amazing new, low price. A] delightful, tongue-in-cheek guide to the care and feeding of dinosaurs. — VOYA Congratulations! You’re bringing home your very first pet dinosaur. But there’s so much to think about. Which dino gets on well with children? What kind of food does it eat (and how can you avoid becoming its meal)? What bed would make it feel completely comfy? With tongue planted firmly in cheek, this dino owner’s manual amusingly explains what every human needs to know before adopting a new saurus. Find out what should go into the basic toolkit (a stout shovel is helpful and so are reinforced gauntlets); which species thrive in household life and which will cause BIG problems; and what dinosaurs are just right for circuses and zoos, in security, and for giving eggs and meat. For every dinosaur covered, there’s information on feeding, breeding, housing, and availability; maps of where they lived; details on weight and size; as well as other pertinent facts. The illustrations cleverly mix photography and art to bring humans and dinos together for the first time, and show the animals in domestic situations. This creative and fun approach will stir everyone’s imagination, and is surely the most amusing way to learn about dinosaurs ever.
