Features: Have you ever seen the magnificent prehistoric sunset glow? Or pterosaurs chasing swarms of flying moths in the damp swamp? Young, fierce dinosaurs fighting for the favor of the opposite sex? The dinosaur world is about to be revealed. Walking with Dinosaurs is the first historical special to delve deeply into the history of dinosaurs. It vividly portrays the era when dinosaurs ruled the earth. Classic nature photography combined with state-of-the-art computer graphics brings the illustrations to life, ultimately making the mysterious world of dinosaurs come alive before your eyes! No era on Earth has inspired people's imagination as much as the age of dinosaurs. For over 150 years, dinosaurs have captivated both scientists and the general public—perhaps because they are so different from anything existing on Earth today, and because they are so real. It is the size and power of dinosaurs that draw us to explore and depict them. But how can we imagine such a different world? We are separated from these prehistoric scenes by vast stretches of time. Over hundreds of millions of years, the remains of these colossal creatures scattered, eroded, and were buried. Through the eons, only a few of these remains were preserved in rock, turning to stone. All the knowledge we have about dinosaurs comes from these scattered pieces of evidence, which have existed as fossils for an incredibly long time. Interpreting fossils is the work of paleontologists, but it is a field that is both fascinating and frustrating for scientists. In the eyes of experts, a fossil contains a wealth of information. It can reveal its age, the morphology of the animal it belonged to, and other related organisms. But when you want to go further and understand how these animals lived, the fossil record becomes elusive. The shapes of footprints, traces of teeth, and the structure of bones can all serve as starting points for many stories, but which one is the correct one? The behaviors that created these clues cannot be turned into fossils; therefore, people will never know the truth about these behaviors for sure. In the end, most speculations about dinosaur behavior are unscientific because they cannot be tested. An animal behaviorist can spend decades conducting field research before confidently explaining an animal's behavior. So how can we claim to know the structure of a Triceratops herd? The answer, of course, is that we cannot, but we do know that these animals existed and reproduced, so it seems worthwhile to explore more about how they lived. This book gathers all the scientifically confirmed elements and uses reasonable speculation to fill in the gaps, aiming to help readers imagine this ancient and alien world more comprehensively. To achieve this goal, I employed various methods of writing and illustration. To create this story, I spent two years talking with scientists and reading primary and secondary paleontological sources. With the help of an experienced research team, we gradually focused on certain creatures about which we already knew enough to help us build a complete picture.
