This unique coloring book contains well-researched, dramatically rendered illustrations of these formidable creatures, many of which were ancestors of modern mammals. Included are \u003ci\u003eNothosaur, \u003c\/i\u003e a slender, 10-foot-long animal that hunted fish in the sea and rested on land (as seals do today); \u003ci\u003eEdaphosaurus, \u003c\/i\u003ea large herbivorous reptile with a great sail on its back; \u003ci\u003eTitanosuchus, \u003c\/i\u003e a carnivorous 8-foot monster with razor-sharp, meat-shearing teeth; \u003ci\u003eOligokyphus, \u003c\/i\u003e a mammal-like reptile that resembled a modern weasel; and 41 others.\u003cbr\u003eAll are portrayed in realistic habitats -- pursuing meals in an aquatic environment, sunning themselves on large rocks, stalking prey in a prehistoric jungle, sampling vegetation in a forest during the Early Permian period, and more. Fact-filled captions provide the names of the animals; their size, habitat, and diet; when they existed; and other fascinating information.\u003cbr\u003eAn entertaining and educational book for coloring enthusiasts of all ages, this collection of detailed drawings will intrigue anyone interested in prehistoric life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eJan Sovak is an illustrator, designer, and fine artist recognized as one of Canada's foremost natural history illustrators.
