Giraffes with long necks, whales returning to the sea, elephants with extended noses, camels carrying nutrient tanks, dinosaurs that evolved into birds, sharks that have been almost unchanged for 400 million years. This is but a sample of amazing survival strategy for animals that have allowed them to evolve through repeated episodes of extinction. From mammals to birds, reptiles, amphibians, and fish, this book summarizes the history of vertebrate evolution.
