such as
Tyrannosaurus, Triceratops, and

behavior, physiology, and extinction. The book is generously illustrated with many detailed drawings and photographs, and includes color
pictures and illustrations that feature interpretations of the best known and most important animals. All alphabetical entries are cross-referenced
internally, as well as at the end of each entry. The
Encyclopedia includes up-to-date references that encourage the
reader to investigate personal interests.
