Beasts From Before the DinosaursBeasts From Before the Dinosaurs

"So, you think you know your prehistoric creatures? Think again! T. rex and Triceratops may be famous, but they weren't the first beasts to rule the Earth. Let's take a trip back in time to discover the secret world of the Permian Period, millions of years before the dinosaurs. It was full of weird and wonderful creatures, unlike anything you've ever seen! Are you ready to meet a fierce four-legged beast with a huge sail on its back? How about a terrifying fish with teeth like a circular saw, supersized flying insects, or even a froglike predator the size of a gorilla? These amazing animals offer a window into a forgotten time"--
There was a time when there was no grass, or birdsong, or flowers. When no Stegosaurus or T. rex had ever walked the Earth, and no Pterodactylus had ever flown through the sky. Sounds quiet, doesn't it? But it wasn't. It was crawling with life. The world looked very, very different then -- and the animals did, too. So, grab your binoculars, tread quietly and let's head back to the dim and distant past.
