Description: How did dinosaurs defend themselves from attack from bigger, meaner and hungrier carnivorous dinosaurs? Some had huge bony plates embedded into their skin, others had spiked tails, horns and claws that could inflict wounds upon their attackers. Each dinosaur examined in this book had its own unique defence strategies and weaponry and makes for hugely informative reading. From their early evolution to eventual extinction, these books span the prehistoric era where dinosaurs ruled the world. From the biggest to the smallest, the hunting and defence strategies they use and the amazing variety of body, shapes, sizes and features that make these amazing creatures so unique to our history. Find out all about their dangerous world ... if you dare!
