Forgotten Beasts: Amazing Creatures That Once Roamed the Earth by Matt Sewell

4.0

I'm giving this four stars for the great illustrations (I love Matt Sewell's style) and the interesting text. But there are several odd mistakes that should have been found and corrected. Megacerops is listed at 8'3 tall and 100' long - yikes! a rhino-millipede? Actually it was 16' long (whew). Megalania, the giant Australian lizard, was not poisonous (would you die if you ate it?) but venomous. Gigantopithecus was a great ape, not a "breat" ape. A new edition is needed, please, with better editing and/or fact-checking.
