TV scientist Ben Garrod presents the biggest extinction events
ever, told from the point of view of evolution's superstars, the
most incredible animals ever to swim, stalk, slither or walk our
planet. Whether you're 9 or 90, his unique exploration of the most
destructive, yet most creative, force in nature makes top level
science fun. Usually a species has 10 million years or so of
evolving, eating, chasing, playing, maybe doing homework, or even
going to the moon before it goes extinct. Trilobite was a
super-invader with its stomach in its head. 20,000 species of them
survived over millions of years and even through two mass
extinctions. Discover the secrets of these successful
super-invaders and the Great Dying event which finally eliminated
them 250 million years ago. 'Eye-opening science with striking
artwork reveals our lost creatures' Sunday Times 'Best Children's
