From the Publisher

Prehistory is stranger than fiction. Nothing proves that better than Sharks and Other Sea Monsters, Robert Sabuda and Matthew Reinhart's Encyclopedia Prehistorica pop-up sequel to the superlatively popular Dinosaurs. As frightening as those dinosaurs were, they would have difficulty matching the chomping ability of these Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic sea creatures. The mighty megalodon, for example, could swallow a hippo whole, and the sarcosuchus had teeth the size of railroad spikes! Once again, master paper engineers Sabuda and Reinhart display their subjects in unforgettably vivid three-dimensional form.
