Prehistoric Animals: How Modern Species Evolved Over Millions of Years
Discover the prehistoric ancestors and evolutionary twists that shaped modern animals. How did mammals survive the age of dinosaurs? How did cat-sized bear ancestors evolve into giants, and why has evolution produced crab-like forms so many times?
Explore the extinction event that ended the reign of non-avian dinosaurs, crocodiles that ran like horses, the early cat Proailurus, lion-sized otters, and bizarre prehistoric elephants.
