Summary

The name archaeopteryx means ancient wing. Believed to be an ancient ancestor of modern birds, the archaeopteryx lived 150 million years ago during the Jurassic Period. Though a relative of birds, archaeopteryx had many dinosaur-like features a long bony tail, sharp teeth, and hand-like claws. This enchanting volume follows an archaeopteryx from its birth to maturity. Growing up was challenging for this reptile-bird, avoiding predators and competing for a mate are just some of the difficulties it encountered. This lively book combines an exciting story with fascinating facts.
 
El ave más antigua conocida alza el vuelo. Un viaje a la prehistoria para conocer a un dinosaurio con plumas. Al archaeopteryx se le considera una criatura a medio camino entre los dinosaurios y las aves modernas. Poseía algunas características de los saurios, pero el hecho de que tuviera plumas la coloca en una categoría aparte. Los arqueólogos coinciden en que se trata del ave más antigua conocida. Vivió en el periodo Jurásico superior, es decir hace alrededor de 150 millones de años en el sur de Alemania. Mediante los recursos propios del cómic, o novela gráfica, estos libros recrean la vida en la prehistoria y muestran las características, hábitos, alimentación y otros datos relevantes en torno a los grandes dinosaurios. Todo ello mediante emocionantes relatos de lucha y supervivencia.
