Description: While dinosaurs are undoubtedly the best-known prehistoric creatures, there were many fascinating animals that predated them, among them reptiles (including the ancestors of modern mammals) who lived in the Permian, Carboniferous, and Triassic periods. This unique coloring book contains 44 attractive, well-researched illustrations of such formidable creatures as the nothosaur, a slender 10-foot long animal that hunted fish in the sea and rested up on land, as seals do today; edaphosaurus, a large herbivorous reptile with a great sail on its back; titanosuchus, a carnivorous 8-foot monster with a huge head and a jaw full of razor-sharp, meat-shearing teeth; and oligokyphus, a mammal-like reptile that resembled a modern weasel. All are portrayed in realistic habitats and identified by informative captions.
