Prehistoric Animals charts the evolution of animal life, from the strange fossils found in the Ediacaran Hills of Australia through the magnificent dinosaurs right up to the amazingly well-preserved saber-toothed cats and mastodons of the La Brea Tarpits. This CD-ROM documents the evolutionary advances made by the major animal groups and shows that although the dinosaurs were an important part of Earth's history, they are just a part of the exciting story of the prehistoric life on our planet.
