Primeval Creatures of the Animal World takes the reader to five distinct environments -- grasslands, wetlands, forest, mountain, and ocean -- to discover modern species that bear uncanny resemblance to their prehistoric ancestors. Learn about the Kimodo dragon, a lizard which grows to be ten feet long in the forests of Indonesia; the remarkable coelacanth, a lobe-tinned fish long thought to be extinct but rediscovered in this century off the African coast; and whale sharks, crocodiles, and Bengal tigers who have evolved through the barriers of time and space.
