predatory animals

Survival in the wild creates a hierarchy of predators and their prey; this interaction among the animals forms the basis of a complex ecological system known as the food chain.

This is a description of how the Saurophaganax and other meat-eating dinosaurs of South America survived and what they have in common with today's animals.

Full-color illustrations describe a number of prehistoric meat-eating dinosaurs including the Utahraptor and the Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Text and illustrations introduce thirteen small but powerful dinosaurs, including the velociraptor, oviraptor, and herrerasaur, showing their size relative to humans and describing their bodies, where they lived, how they hunted, and how they defended themselves.
