Lost Animals: Extinct, Endangered, and Rediscovered Species

Lost Animals: Extinct, Endangered, and Rediscovered Species by John Whitfield regarded as one of the best books on endangered species introduces you to and teaches you about animal species that once roamed the earth but are now extinct. The majority of them became extinct as a result of hunting, competition, mass extinctions (such as the dinosaurs), and various human activities.

John Whitfield's book brings back some of the most magnificent and alluring creatures that ever lived. He employs over 200 stunning portraits, scientific drawings, and fossil artwork of creatures that most of us were unaware existed. You'll learn about species like paraceratherium (the world's largest land mammal), dodos, spinosaurus, and placoderm fishes, among others. The book is simply an engrossing description of evolution and extinction. This book's chapters are organized chronologically, beginning with the Cambrian explosion. It also includes profiles of the major animal species that existed at the time.

With such a detailed book on extinction, one can only see the need for increased measures to protect our living species – lest future generations only learn about current species from books.
