Nature photographs and digital images replicate a prehistoric world in this companion to Ankylosaur Attack, which focuses on the flying pterosaur Quetzalcoatlus. Tense narration follows the dinosaur, as Quetzalcoatlus flies, fishes, and encounters a pack of ferocious Saurornitholestes that attack him: “For every Saurornitholestes knocked aside, two more jumped onto the struggling giant.
