FORGOTTEN BEASTS HC – MATT SEWELL

What do you know about the our planet s strangest extinct creatures? Matt Sewell s follow-up to the mega-hit Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures is a beautifully-illustrated large format look at the amazing beasts that time forgot – from the well-known, such as the sabre-toothed tiger and woolly mammoth, to more obscure monsters that walked the earth millions of years ago. Organized chronologically, the creatures illustrated and described include: Sabre tooth tigers and woolly mammoths Glyptodon – the armadillo as big as a VW Beetle car Megalodon – the monster 60 foot (18m) shark Water King penguin – the red and grey penguin the size of a man Ornimegalonyx – the largest owl that ever existed Deinotherium – the huge, elephant-like creature with tusks positioned on its lower jaw and curved, facing downwards Short-nosed bear – the massive fearsome bear that kept North America human-free Aurochs – the striped wild bull with huge horns Megatherium – the giant sloth that was as large as a modern elephant Less celebrated than the dinosaurs, these beasts are equally impressive. Enjoy Matt Sewell s characteristic watercolour illustrations and witty, fascinating descriptions of these amazing creatures that once did stalk the planet.
