WHO IS DOUG? An inquisitive dung beetle who meets weekly at the watering hole with Millie the mammoth, Cedric the camel, Herb the horse and Shutzal the sloth. Together, the five youngsters argue about such topics as thinking, happiness, specie-ism, religion, ethics, evolution, kindness, death, education, love, hunting, sports and the art of rolling the perfect dung ball. They may not provide us with all of life’s answers, but they sure pose a lot of intriguing questions.

Avocational paleontologist Mark Renz stumbles onto an ancient graveyard of mammoths, mastodons, sloths, horses, llamas, deer, peccaries, saber-toothed cats, jaguars, bears, wolves, snakes and alligators. Was it a major storm, flood, drought of plague that killed so many creatures at once? What signs do scientists look for to determine cause and time of death? What are the ethical considerations for amateurs who come across such a site? Do you keep the bones for yourself, sell them on e-bay, or donate them to a museum of the greater public good? Close to 800 field photos offer readers a rare glimpse at the final moments in the lives of these animals.

A search in the Peruvian Desert, 2000 feet into the foothills of the Andies, turns up 5-10 million year-old articulated whales, seals, dolphins and sharks. Renz photographs these long dead creatures and interviews paleo experts who have concluded that today's great white shark evolved from an ancient mako. The transition took place 4-5 million years ago in what was a deep salt-water lagoon.
