An essay on the history on the topic of "Prehistoric animals", 5th class
Have you thought about what happened before humans? Looked like the world? What are the living beings inhabited the Earth? We all know from children's encyclopedias that man appeared about 4.5 million years ago. All this time he made the beginnings of civilization and even today we live in the age of high technology.
I always wondered what creatures lived before the advent of the human race. As a child reading the encyclopedia, I invented for a certain scenario and a picture of what the world was in those days. Bright pictures in the book fascinated me and inspired to dream. And now we have the opportunity to get acquainted with the prehistoric world. In global networks and the books written many kinds of animals that existed from 3.7 thousand to 55 million years ago. In this essay I would like to write about them.
The first living creatures were huge and had significant weight. They eat a variety of foods and live in different conditions. Some of them had large limbs, trunk, big tusks, powerful jaws.
Bolshereche deer
Was the largest deer that ever lived on Earth. The beauty of the animal was the presence of his large horns, the scope of which reached 4 meters, and weighs 40 pounds. There were about 300 thousand years ago and inhabited Eurasia. Assuming that the large horns prevented the deer, most likely, they were intended solely to protect and attract females.
Arsonetri
Resembled a Rhino, lived about 30 million years ago. At length the animal has reached 4 meters, had large horns and the frontal protuberances, consisting of bone tissue. The remains of arsenolite found in Africa.
Stylenode
Lived in North America (the States of Wyoming, Colorado, Utah and Texas) 52-54 million years ago, evolved from insect-eating animals. The largest of them reached the size of a leopard and weighed about 100 pounds. Elongated skull passed into a short neck, the long in the case and then in the long tail. Had teeth that had permanent growth. The animal's highly developed muscles due to the presence of extensive areas for muscle attachment. On five-fingered limbs had claws with which they extracted solid vegetarian food.
Kabbigere
Lived in Eastern Georgia, characterized by their large size, the body length was about 1500 inches. In order to protect they were hiding in the water, in this they were helped by the speakers of the orbit.
Thelodonti
Differently they were called woolly rhinoceroses. Lived in Eurasia in a cool area. Extinct in the early Holocene, about 70 thousand years ago. Had large size, short limbs, elongated skull with two horns. Woolly covering, which protected the animal from exposure to low temperatures and winds.
Deinothere
Animals of the late Miocene - early Pliocene. Resembled modern elephants, however, were different proportions, with a short trunk and tusks, arranged on lower jaw, slightly curved down. Height the animals could reach up to 7 meters and weight up to 10 tons.
Phororacos
The birds that lived about 24 million years ago in South America. They had a relatively large skull and a large beak. Growth reached 3 meters, weighed 300 pounds. Only competitor - toothed tiger. The production scored a major beak to death, ate meat and carrion.
You can open a bunch of images of prehistoric animals, each of which was unique. They were all included in the food chain and are interrelated. Modern man has the chance to study them quite extensively. As a consequence from a lot of movies (both documentary and fiction) and cartoons.
Scientists have identified in the science special section examines prehistoric animals with their fossils is paleontology. The learning process included the creation of computer 3D models that gave us all the beauty of these animals. Scientists are still studying the living creatures that inhabited the planet long before the appearance of man. Every year an increasing number of remains and of information respectively.
