Why were the dinosaurs "built" the way they were? How did this determine their lifestyles? This book answers these and other questions in a close-up look at the skeletons of 18 dinosaurs and other popular prehistoric animals. The reader should be able to understand the structures of these enormous creatures from the study of their bones, just as scientists have done. Each skeleton is presented dramatically on a black background, accompanied by a complete, "clothed" illustration and a to-scale human silhouette. It includes pull-out sections to display on a wall.
