Cartopédie › Dinosaurs & Prehistory
Collect the dinosaurs and the animals of prehistory, from the first seas to the Ice Age.
Dinosaurs, marine and flying reptiles, Ice Age mammals, early humans: each card is an animal that really lived, with its size, its mass, its period, its diet, the continent of its fossils and an anecdote about its discovery.
The best-known animals are the rarest cards. Complete your albums by group, by geological era, by continent or by record.
The start of their anecdote. The theme's other cards are for you to discover in the game.

This small herbivore of the Early Jurassic walked on two legs. It was about 1.2 m long and weighed less than 45 kg. It belonged to the heterodontosaurids, small early ornithischians known for their large canine-like teeth.

The "giant cheetah" was roughly twice the size of today's cheetahs and weighed 60 to 121 kilos. It was probably adapted to running down prey, but being heavier it likely did not reach its cousin's top speed.

With its head about 3 m above the ground this camel filled the ecological niche of the giraffe and fed on leaves too high for others. It walked on its toes only.
