A whimsically illustrated collection of fascinating, surprising, and funny facts about extinct animals.

Animals of a Bygone Era features 54 extinct animals from the ancient and modern world including well-known examples such as wooly mammoths and dodo birds, as well as lesser-known (but no less fascinating) animals like semiaquatic sea minks, marsupial Tasmanian tigers, and tiny Eurasian wild horses.
