I'm back with a new book. This time I'm going to show you the many amazing, frightening and sometimes downright strange species that were lost to time.
There are so many creatures that once roamed planet Earth, our own little oasis in the vast expan...
The sun begins to peak its face over the horizon, bathing the landscape before it in a red glow. Mountains that will one day become the Rockies tower above the floodplain.
Within the trees' foliage, a flock of Kepodactyluses bask in the warmth of the morning rays.

Sleeping peacefully beneath them is a 5.69 meter long dragon. This is Dagger-tooth, a fully grown male Ceratosaurus nasicornis.

But this calm morning is abruptly interrupted as the earth begins to shake violently. The Kepodactyluses leap out of the trees and take to the air, their 2.5 meter long wingspan casting shadows along the ground. Dagger-tooth wakes up and sprints into the nearby river. But the rumbling ends just as suddenly as it began.
This strange phenomenon was caused by the volcanic activity from the nearby mountains. As the Pacific tectonic plate grinds against the North American plate, mountains and volcanoes are formed, but this also forces magma and ash to come to the surface, creating fearsome tremors that reek havoc across the land.
As the final quakes disappear, Dagger-tooth begins to relax and climbs back onto land. He may not be the most intelligent creature out there, but he's smart enough to know that he's got to take cover when the earth starts to shake, and for him, that means getting in the water.
Dagger-tooth raises his head and sniffs the air, he can smell a herd of Sauropods nearby, but there's another scent that worries him. Carefully, he walks towards the smell, staying close to the river until he's forced to enter the forest. After walking for a few more minutes, he arrives at the source of the odor, a large pile of dung.
With some reluctance he bends down to smell the animal's waste. It's still fresh. He knows what made it and he wants nothing to do with it. Just as he's about to leave, the culprit returns, a fully grown 10 meter long Torvosaurus tanneri.
