201 million years ago, unlike previous events, the End Triassic mass extinction left numerous clues as to its cause. Among its victims was Lisowicia, a massive nine-tonne, elephant-sized animal. In many ways, it was a cross between a reptile and a mammal, yet not quite either!

With an additional 'Ask the Expert' section, stunning full-colour art on every page, a glossary, and a pronunciation guide, each book reveals a different extinction story. These stories range from mass extinctions caused by asteroids or mega volcanoes, to those driven by human over-hunting and habitat destruction.
