The story begins at dusk, with a large lizard-like creature poised for a hunt, only to be interrupted by a ground-shaking rumble. A gargantuan, rock-skinned beast emerges, creating chaos and posing a threat to the smaller creature. The authors emphasize that this is not fiction, but a glimpse into a bygone era when mammoths, dinosaurs, giant insects, and ancient marine life roamed the planet, long before humans and modern animals existed. The text then transitions into an educational segment, introducing paleontology as the scientific discipline dedicated to studying Earth's ancient history through the remnants of extinct life. It draws an analogy between ancient ruins revealing a king's past and the earth's buried clues – bones, footprints, eggs, and fossilized bodies – providing insights into ancient creatures. The science of paleontology, a crucial branch of Earth's history study, is explained as the examination of ancient plant and animal life, with paleontologists being the scientists who conduct this research.","Creatures of Old Veena Prasad  \nKabini Amin  \nThe sun hadjust set, and the forest was in darkness. A huge lizard-like creature was hiding in the bushes. It was still as a statue, from the tip of its snout to the curve of its tail. Only its sharp eyes moved, darting left and right. Its nostrils twitched as it smelled dinner. A juicy little insect!  \nThe giant lizard got ready to pounce when . . .  \n2  \nSuddenly, the ground rumbled and shook. Animals were running in all directions. The poor lizard-creature was almost run over . Angrily, it turned back to see what was causing all the confusion. GULP!  \nA terrifying beast was charging down the forest path. It was taller than the tallest trees, and had skin as rough as rock.  \nOh no! Was the hunter about to become the prey?  \nThis is NOT a story.  \nSuch creatures actually lived on earth a long, long time ago. At a time when there were no humans or dogs or birds.  \nInstead there were mammoths, dinosaurs, giant insects, and even ferocious fish-like creatures in the oceans . There were also strange-looking plants!  \n7  \nHow do we know this?  \nBecause of science. A very special branch of science called ‘Palaeontology’(pronounced pay-lee-on-tol-oji) that is related to the history of Earth. Palaeontology is the study of plants and animals that lived on earth many, many years ago. And paleontologists are scientists who study this science.  \nJust as the ruins of an old palace can tell us things about a king from the past (like how grand his throne was, or what his favourite weapon was), there are clues deep inside the earth that can tell us many things about ancient animals.  \nThe clues come in many forms—bones, footprints, eggs, and sometimes even the body of an entire animal preserved in stone!  \n9","cbCaisrpDNMtpK7D","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaisrpDNMtpK7D","pdf",827534,4,30,"English","en",105,"# Creatures of Old\n## The Story of the Giant Lizard\n## An Ancient World\n## The Science of Paleontology","[{\"question\":\"What is paleontology?\",\"answer\":\"Paleontology is a branch of science that studies the plants and animals that lived on Earth many, many years ago.\"},{\"question\":\"Who are paleontologists?\",\"answer\":\"Paleontologists are scientists who study paleontology.\"},{\"question\":\"What kind of clues do paleontologists study?\",\"answer\":\"Paleontologists study clues such as bones, footprints, eggs, and sometimes entire animal bodies preserved in stone.\"}]",1783567390,46,{"code":4,"msg":30,"data":31},"ok",{"site_id":24,"language":23,"slug":32,"title":13,"keywords":33,"description":14,"schema_data":34,"social_meta":85,"head_meta":87,"extra_data":89,"updated_unix":27},"creatures-of-old","",{"@graph":35,"@context":84},[36,52,67],{"@type":37,"itemListElement":38},"BreadcrumbList",[39,43,47,50],{"item":40,"name":41,"@type":42,"position":11},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":44,"name":45,"@type":42,"position":46},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":48,"name":12,"@type":42,"position":49},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/story-novel/",3,{"item":51,"name":13,"@type":42,"position":20},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/creatures-of-old/48090/",{"url":51,"name":13,"@type":53,"author":54,"headline":13,"publisher":56,"fileFormat":59,"inLanguage":23,"description":14,"dateModified":60,"datePublished":61,"encodingFormat":59,"isAccessibleForFree":62,"interactionStatistic":63},"DigitalDocument",{"name":9,"@type":55},"Person",{"url":40,"name":57,"@type":58},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-07-15","2026-07-09",true,{"@type":64,"interactionType":65,"userInteractionCount":20},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":66},"ViewAction",{"@type":68,"mainEntity":69},"FAQPage",[70,76,80],{"name":71,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":73},"What is paleontology?","Question",{"text":74,"@type":75},"Paleontology is a branch of science that studies the plants and animals that lived on Earth many, many years ago.","Answer",{"name":77,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":78},"Who are paleontologists?",{"text":79,"@type":75},"Paleontologists are scientists who study paleontology.",{"name":81,"@type":72,"acceptedAnswer":82},"What kind of clues do paleontologists study?",{"text":83,"@type":75},"Paleontologists study clues such as bones, footprints, eggs, and sometimes entire animal bodies preserved in stone.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":51,"og:type":86,"og:title":13,"og:site_name":57,"og:description":14},"article",{"robots":88,"canonical":51},"index,follow",{"doc_id":7,"site_id":24},{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":91},[92,95,99,103,108,113,118,122,127,130,134],{"id":11,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":12,"show_sort_weight":93,"slug":94},90,"story-novel",{"id":46,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":96,"show_sort_weight":97,"slug":98},"Literature",80,"literature",{"id":20,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":100,"show_sort_weight":101,"slug":102},"Exam",70,"exam",{"id":104,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":105,"show_sort_weight":106,"slug":107},5,"Comic",60,"comic",{"id":109,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":110,"show_sort_weight":111,"slug":112},6,"Technology",50,"technology",{"id":114,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":115,"show_sort_weight":116,"slug":117},7,"Healthcare",40,"healthcare",{"id":119,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":120,"show_sort_weight":21,"slug":121},8,"Research & Report","research-report",{"id":123,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":124,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":126},9,"Religion & Spirituality",20,"religion-spirituality",{"id":125,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":128,"show_sort_weight":125,"slug":129},"World Cup","world-cup",{"id":131,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":132,"show_sort_weight":131,"slug":133},10,"Lifestyle","lifestyle",{"id":135,"doc_module":4,"doc_module_name":45,"category_name":136,"show_sort_weight":104,"slug":137},19,"General","general"]
