Are you ready to discover some of the natural world’s most fascinating extinct and critically endangered animals? Look no further…
In The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Extinct Animals from award-winning author and illustrator Sami Bayly, you can pore over beautifully detailed illustrations of some of the most fascinating extinct and critically endangered animals in the natural world.
Not only that, but you can discover how these species fit into the history of the animal kingdom and why they have become extinct or are under threat. Cool, right?
Featuring awesome facts and astonishing illustrations of around sixty amazing animals – including the western black rhino, thylacine, dodo, South Island giant moa and Tapanuli orangutan, as well as megafauna such as the giant wombat-like diprotodon and the crocodile-like Quinkana. Plus creatures with mysterious origins like Delcourt’s giant gecko…
The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Extinct Animals is the latest addition to the Illustrated Encyclopaedia collection by Sami Bayly, following The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Ugly Animals, The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Dangerous Animals and The Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Peculiar Pairs in Nature. Awesome!
Also from Sami Bayly: How We Came to Be: Surprising Sea Creatures and How We Came to Be: Creatures of Camouflage and Mimicry, the evolution stories behind some of the world’s most remarkable creatures!
