Dinosaurs are the protagonists so far in the history of animal life on land — not some peculiar preamble to our own story. Throughout the epochs they inhabited every niche — predator and prey, herbivore and carnivore — and spanned every size, from the pigeonlike anchiornis to the hangarsized argentinosaurus. Sauropods like these were so monumental that their methane farts might have been partly responsible for making the Mesozoic so warm.

This is a majestic book. It really blew my mind. It is all so beautiful, mesmerizing, and fucking scary.
And maybe funny #Mesozoic #Farts #Dinosaurs
