An encyclopedic and vividly illustrated reference.,Gone but never forgotten -- no other life form has captured our imagination and attention like dinosaurs. ,Dinosaurus, is organized into the major dinosaur families and identifies 500 species -- creature by creature, from the voracious flesh-eaters to the egg-stealers to the vegetarians. What they looked like. What they ate. How they fought, lived, and died. A dramatic full-color illustration of each dinosaur is accompanied by a concise explanation of their traits and habits.,At-a-glance Fact Files describe:,Latin name, translation, and pronunciation Adult length, weight and height Diet and habitat Global distribution ,Dinosaurus, challenges and discredits popular myths and long-standing legends. For example: the dinosaur known as Brontosaurus never even existed in the first place. Was Tyrannosaurus really the biggest meat-eater of all time? Were flying dinosaurs simply feeble gliders? Could sea dinosaurs out-swim today's fastest fish?,Brimming with the latest research, from contemporary digs in North America, Mongolia, Europe and China, ,Dinosaurus, is comprehensive, innovative, and as compelling and exciting as the dinosaurs themselves.
