With a focus primarily on animals which have gone extinct in the last 100 years, Riera and Tite gives us beautiful illustrations with succinct descriptions of the animal, when they were last seen and the possible reason they died out. Some, like the California Grizzly and the Thylacine have a whole spread to themselves. Includes information about conservation groups, how the reader can get involved and how to be responsible and help the environment. Oversized, this will look great on display.
