What color was the ichthyosaur? How many calories per day did the megalodon need? Is it possible to fly on abdominal ribs (and what is that 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 no one would have dared to ask just ten years ago.
Using the example of 27 very different animals, the famous Russian geologist and popularizer of science Andrey Zhuravlev talks about what we can learn from paleontological finds. The reader is presented with a variety of creatures as if they were alive - from small organisms that looked more like worms and swam in the seas more than half a billion years ago, to giant lizards whose steps shook the soil a little over 40,000 years ago, and terrifying megasharks.
