Ravensburger Ausgestorben - Das Buch der verschwundenen Tiere

Year after year, thousands of animal species disappear forever from our planet. This beautifully illustrated nonfiction book is dedicated to those animals that can no longer be observed in nature today. Nikola Kucharska takes us on an exciting journey through time and discovery, from the first land vertebrates, through the age of dinosaurs, to the inhabitants of Ice Age landscapes, and finally to the accelerated species extinction of recent years. In fascinating images, she brings the Diplodocus, the aurochs, and the Tasmanian wolf back to life, telling us when and where they lived and what caused their disappearance. Ultimately, she addresses animals that are currently critically endangered, such as the California porpoise and the saiga. Along the way, readers will learn various interesting facts about fossils, the history of dinosaur research, the most important natural history museums in Europe, and prehistoric humans. With her book, Nikola Kucharska shows us how crucial it is to protect and preserve endangered species before it is too late.
