Extreme Survivors: Animals That Time Forgot

Extreme Survivors introduces rare and unusual creatures that have persisted while most life forms on Earth have gone extinct or changed dramatically. Some of the animals featured have altered very little over many millions of years. Photographs accompany descriptions of these organisms, which include the goblin shark, horseshoe crab, and water bear. A glossary and bibliography provide additional reference material for a look at animals whose long histories set them apart from many other forms of life.
