A dinosaur was the largest animal to exist on Earth, right? Wrong! The largest animal in Earth's 4.7-billion-year history exists today: the enormous Blue Whale that swims the oceans. Come along on an evolutionary journey of 50 million years as we learn other remarkable facts and follow the ancestors of today's cetaceans from the time they crawled out of the oceans and then back to become the magnificent beasts we admire in every ocean on our planet earth. The whales' journey has not been a smooth one, but it is a magnificent story. Award-winning author and illustrator Ted Rechlin (Lions and Tigers, Sue, Jurassic) takes the reader on this journey using his engaging and dynamic graphic novel style to entertain and enlighten readers. 50 Million Years of Whales is an eye-opening look at the long and fascinating story of whales. Appropriate for ages 6 and up.

“A palaeontological howdunnit…[Spying on Whales] captures the excitement of…seeking answers to deep questions in cetacean science.” —Nature Called “the best of science writing” (Edward O. Wilson) and named a best book by Popular Science, a dive into the secret lives of whales, from their four-legged past to their perilous present. Whales are among the largest, most intelligent, deepest diving species to have ever lived on our planet. They evolved from land-roaming, dog-sized creatures into animals that move like fish, breathe like us, can grow to 300,000 pounds, live 200 years and travel entire ocean basins. Whales fill us with terror, awe, and affection--yet there is still so much we don't know about them. Why did it take whales over 50 million years to evolve to such big sizes, and how do they eat enough to stay that big? How did their ancestors return from land to the sea--and what can their lives tell us about evolution as a whole? Importantly, in the sweepstakes of human-driven habitat and climate change, will whales survive? Nick Pyenson's research has given us the answers to some of our biggest questions about whales. He takes us deep inside the Smithsonian's unparalleled fossil collections, to frigid Antarctic waters, and to the arid desert in Chile, where scientists race against time to document the largest fossil whale site ever found. Full of rich storytelling and scientific discovery, Spying on Whales spans the ancient past to an uncertain future--all to better understand the most enigmatic creatures on Earth.

"A ... first-person account of the discoveries that brought to light the early fossil record of whales. As evidenced in the record, whales evolved from herbivorous forest-dwelling ancestors that resembled tiny deer to carnivorous monsters stalking lakes and rivers and to serpentlike denizens of the coast. Thewissen reports on his discoveries in the wilds of India and Pakistan, weaving a narrative that reveals the day-to-day adventures of fossil collection, enriching it with local flavors from South Asian culture and society"--Dust jacket flap.
