Anunta-ma cand revine pe stoc!Bigger and Better, Updated and Expanded We live in a golden age of paleontological discovery--on average, we find one new dinosaur species per week. The most fascinating among them take their place in this updated edition of Dinosaurs--The Grand Tour; from Aardonyx, a lumbering beast that formed a link between two- and four-legged dinosaurs, to Zuniceratops, who boasted a deadly pair of horns. Here, you'll find everything worth knowing about every dinosaur worth knowing--more than 300 in all, including:
- Amphibious Halszkaraptor looks like no other dinosaur we've found--with a head and body the size of a duck's, sharp claws . . . and a swanlike neck. Longer than a blue whale and three times taller than a giraffe, Patagotitan is a newly discovered contender for "biggest dinosaur ever." The speedy little feathered predator Stenonychosaurus was an anatomical marvel, with retractable claws, asymmetrical ears for advanced hearing, incredible night vision, and a huge brain. Oviraptor --whose name means "egg thief "--doesn't deserve its bad rap. This specimen from 1923 is now proven to have been sitting by its own eggs--not stealing another's. Sinornithosaurus prove that dinosaurs shed their skin the same way that humans do, rather than sloughing it off all at once like a snake.
