Illustrated by
Andrew Plant.
Readers join this prehistoric mammal as it hunts for food, taking down an unsuspecting bison with its impressive teeth. The simple but well-written explanations of the animal's features and actions are carefully linked to the available scientific evidence, clearly indicating how fossils of today may explain behaviors of the past. Color illustrations, sometimes realistically gruesome, include scientific species' names. Reading list, websites.
