Features: The Middle Jurassic period (195 to 137 million years ago), a key era in the Mesozoic Era (230 to 67 million years ago), witnessed the magnificent rise of dinosaurs. This period was home to massive sauropod reptiles, such as Brachiosaurus and the enormous Southern Dragon, which were the largest creatures to ever roam the Earth. However, they were preyed upon by fearsome carnivores and shared their world with various aquatic animals. Additionally, strange winged reptiles dominated the skies, and today's birds evolved from these winged reptiles. This book traces the evolutionary journey of dinosaurs during this thrilling period, analyzes the main species of dinosaurs, and also examines the creatures that lived in the air and oceans during the same time.
