About this book

Language: Japanese

Blue whales can weigh up to 160 tons, and sperm whales can dive to depths of up to 1000 meters. After migrating from land to the sea, whales spent an incredible amount of time remodelling their bodies and began to live in oceans all over the world. Pakicetus, which walked on four legs, Ambulocetus, also known as the walking whale, and the gigantic reptile-like Basilosaurus... these extinct whales that no one has ever seen before are brought to life in vivid illustrations. Witness the 50 million-year-long evolutionary journey of whales.

Summary in Japanese:
体重160トンにも達するシロナガスクジラや、1000メートルもの深みにもぐることができるマッコウクジラ。陸から海へ生活場所をうつしたクジラたちは、気が遠くなるような時間をかけて体を作り変え、世界中の海で暮らすようになりました。4本足で歩いていた「パキケタス」、「歩くクジラ」の名前をもつ「アンブロケタス」、巨大な爬虫類のような「バシロサウルス」……だれも見たことがない絶滅したクジラたちが臨場感ある絵で甦ります! 5000万年のクジラたちの進化の旅を目撃しましょう。
