Features: A vividly illustrated history of marine life, offering a time tunnel that lets readers immerse themselves in a world of fantasy. This book takes readers on an underwater adventure to revisit the seven most silent oceans in history, allowing them to meet the likes of the megalodon, plesiosaur,, sea scorpions, and other once-ruthless prehistoric marine monsters in a bizarre prehistoric ocean world. In a thrilling and exciting journey, it recreates the wisdom of marine paleontology's evolution and survival. Following the massive success of the two series films "Walking with Dinosaurs" and "Walking with Beasts," "Water Dinosaurs" once again brings the prehistoric world to life. From the Ordovician period, a desolate and human-uninhabitable era that gave rise to a large predator with long, straight, smooth shells, to the Pliocene epoch, where the largest predatory shark—the megalodon—ruled the seas, this historical journey will take us to explore seven silent oceans that have once existed. As the foremost director of wildlife television documentaries, Nigel Marven explores the prehistoric world through a series of encounters. He dives into the deep ocean to accompany extraordinary marine life, uncovering the mysteries of deep-sea creatures. Through Nigel's perspective, we gain insight into the underwater world and the strange yet fascinating creatures that inhabit it, many of which are larger and more ferocious than dinosaurs on land. The fearsome and powerful predator, the placoderm, may have been the largest carnivorous animal to have ever existed, with its head covered in armor and razor-sharp teeth for cutting food. The colossal backbone whale has a body that twists and turns like a snake. All of these creatures lived in the perilous prehistoric ocean. Through face-to-face interactions with Nigel, we will feel as if we are there. Among the modern ocean predators, even including orcas and great white sharks, neither in size nor in intimidation can they compare to the prehistoric species.
