How large was a microraptor, one of the smallest dinosaurs? How small is a human compared to the largest found fossil of a dinosaur? Which dinosaur had feathers similar to a chicken? What animal living today is the size of a pterodactyl?
Ancient dinosaurs must be some of the most interesting creatures in the universe. They are pictured here, scaled to everyday objects and distances, and the data is based on the most recent studies.
Dinosaur Scalebook is an inspiring, vividly colourful picture book about the incredible proportions of dinosaurs. The book honours the distinctiveness of our planet’s fauna in its various eras. It sets a human being as one element in the plurality of life and shows the brevity of humans’ time on earth.
