What color was the ichthyosaur? How many calories a day did a megalodon need? Is it possible to fly on belly ribs (and what are they anyway)? What did snakes with legs, turtles without shells, or amphibians with fins look like? Who ate whom, how did they move, and what did they breathe? Today, paleontology answers questions that only ten years ago no one would have dared to even ask. On the example of 27 very different animals, the famous Russian geologist and popularizer of science Andrei Zhuravlev tells us what we can learn from paleontological finds. From small worm-like organisms that swam in the seas more than half a billion years ago, to giant lizards whose footsteps shook the ground just over 40,000 years ago, to terrifying mega sharks, the reader is presented with a variety of living creatures.
