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...
As the sun begins to rise over the land its rays reveal a light mist blanketing the soft and squishy ground. Many species of reptiles varying in shapes and sizes are seen basking on the banks of the massive swamp as their bodies begin to absorb the sun's warmth. Meanwhile in the lowland many herbivorous animals begin to wake up.
A small group of Megadolodus molariformis walk up to the edge of the water for a morning drink. These medium-sized creatures are part of the Proteroteridae an extinct family of mammals that vaguely resemble horses. Unlike their relatives, Megadolodus have large canines that are used to dig up roots.

Because they know many dangers lurk within the water, the Megadoloduses keep an eye out for any sign of movement that could be coming from the swamp. But unbeknownst to Megadoloduses, they're already being watched.
This is Ax-beak, a subadult Phorusrhacos longissimus. He hasn't eaten for a few days thanks to the predators he's forced to compete with, but now he has an opportunity to take down one of the Megadoloduses. Using the trees and foliage as cover, Ax-beak begins to close the distance between himself and his prey.

Suddenly a sound of splashing in the swamp's direction alerts the Megadolodus group and they begin to scatter. Ax-beak jumps out of the forest and desperately tries to catch up to the herd, but his plans are foiled by a massive Mourasuchus atopus. The 11-meter long Crocodilian snaps its jaws at Ax-beak forcing him to jump back.
