From the Publisher
Did you know that 99.9% of all species that have ever existed on Earth are now extinct? Now six of them are brought back to life using 3D computer technology and animatronic models. Follow the amazing stories of these creatures: the mammoth, saber–toothed tiger, Irish elk, dodo, great auk, and Tasmanian tiger. Based on a six–part British television series, Extinct Fact Files gives young readers a chance to learn more about these unique animals and birds. With original illustrations, maps, and timelines, we explore how and where each creature lived, how it hunted, and what hunted it. The book explains why these species died out and explores the impact of climate change and human interference. With countless more species balancing on the brink of extinction today, this book provides useful information on what we can really do to help.
