There was a time when there was no grass, or birdsong, or flowers. When no Stegosaurus or T. rex had ever walked the Earth, and no Pterodactylus had ever flown through the sky. Sounds quiet, doesn't it? But it wasn't. It was crawling with life. The world looked very, very different then -- and the animals did, too. So, grab your binoculars, tread quietly and let's head back to the dim and distant past.
