Each volume in the "Eyewitness" series is an informative, visual guide to the wonders and workings of the world about us. Illustrated with colour photographs of objects from the natural world, from specialist museums and from rare private collections, the series offers a fresh approach to the mysteries of nature, science, arts, crafts and pastimes. This collection of photographs reveals the fascinating world of their behaviour, habitats and why they mysteriously disappeared. The fossils and skeletons depicted in the book come from specialist museum collections, and many are seen here for the first time.
