Features: Animals stare wide-eyed at the void, while our eyes seem to invert, encircling it like a trap, capturing its free exit and everything beyond. We only understand this through the animals' faces, for we turn infants over and force them to gaze backward, at their form, rather than the profound void that appears so deep in the animal's eyes, free from death. Only we can see it; the free animal, with death behind and God ahead, walks into eternity when it moves. This book includes many extinct animals, such as Archaeopteryx, woolly mammoths, thylacines, moas, elephant birds, dodos, mammoths, and addax, documenting the discovery and research processes of their fossils or endangered statuses.
