Description

The mighty dinosaurs were the dominant life form on earth for millions of years. But catastrophe awaited. In what amounts to a geological blink of an eye, the dinosaurs disappeared. This fun-filled fact-book takes you deep into the world of dinosaurs!

From Tyrannosaurs to Stegosaurs, The Handy Dinosaur Answer Book profiles numerous species, chronicling their time on Earth and exploring their roles in archaeological expeditions and museums today. It covers the latest, greatest findings along with the accompanying shifts in dinosaur theory. Because of recent discoveries, there are some great debates: Are birds really dinosaurs? Were any dinosaurs warm blooded? What caused their extinction? Unearth answers to over 800 commonly asked (and just plain interesting) dinosaur questions such as . . .

  • What is a dinosaur?
  • Where are extremely large dinosaur bones being found and why?
  • Did dinosaurs get blown away by hurricanes?
  • Did some dinosaurs have self-sharpening teeth?
  • Which dinosaur had the longest neck of any animal known?
  • Did dinosaurs travel in herds?
  • What dinosaurs are thought to have evolved into birds?
  • Do dinosaur bones ever get "rearranged" after they are placed on display?
  • Where and what is the Dinosaur Freeway?

    From the earth's beginnings through the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods to today's latest scientific discoveries and discovery-laden sites, The Handy Dinosaur Answer Book provides hundreds of intriguing dinosaur facts. With numerous photos and illustrations, this tome is richly illustrated, and its helpful bibliography and extensive index add to its usefulness. It's a perfect reference to help make sense of 65-million-year-old mysteries!
