The AskNature Hive

Beneath the feet, above the heads, and deep in the bellies of the dinosaurs––there were plants. And those plants shaped dinosaurs, early mammals, and the prehistoric world itself in profound and astounding ways.

Join bestselling, dino-loving author Riley Black for a trip back to that world, and see familiar tropes dissolve in the mist to reveal a vibrant land defined not by a few charismatic animals, but by an overwhelming multitude of plants, animals, and the dynamic relationships between them––relationships that continue to impact the world today, and can provide biomimics with a whole new array of inspirational models to learn from.
