Responsible for designing Skull Island and its fantastical inhabitants for Peter Jackson's epic King Kong, the artists at Weta Workshop have created a rich and diverse world of wonders and terrors to thrill audiences everywhere.

El libro es una rara avis difícil de encontrar
2019年9月16日にスペインでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
Es caro de narices, aunque he llegado a ver precios estratosfericos para este libro, y como ya llevaba años tras él, y creía que iba a ser imposible de encontrar, me decidí. Por lo demás, todo perfecto, envío del Reino Unido pero relativamente rápido, y era justo lo que quería, así que sin problemas.

"Roaring" praise for The World of Kong: A Natural History of Skull Island!
2016年2月9日にカナダでレビュー済みAmazonで購入
This book is a must have for any fan of King Kong. it is written so well and portrayed so vividly that, if you didn't know better, you might actually believe that Skull Island and it's weird, wondrous, and creepy wildlife were real! with plausible, realistically possible habitats and wildlife, and all info accompanied by amazing artwork, an accurate size comparison of the animals, and text worded as if it were genuine scientific discoveries, this book is definitely one of the best of it's kind that I have ever read. not only did it meet my expectations, but it exceeded them, and I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is interested in King Kong, evolution, and realistically possible works of fiction fiction.

A fascinating menagerie of creatures

Many people will be familiar with Peter Jackson's version of King Kong. That movie featured a lost island near Indonesia that was inhabited by descendants of prehistoric creatures, as well as huge giant invertebrates, huge flying rodents and a giant ape who is of course the story's main focus.
However, as there is only so much you can fit into a movie, we only got to see a small handful of Skull Island's local wildlife.
This book provides illustrations and info on both all the creature types you saw in the film (including, of course, Kong's species), plus a whole heap of other creatures that never got featured.
As any familiar with the setting will know, Skull Island is a lost world of prehistoric survivors. Naturally, non-avian dinosaurs are a major example of this. However, Skull Island is also home to many other surviving prehistoric groups, including raisuchians, therapsids, pelycosaurs, lepospondyl amphibiams and so on.
The island is also home to such strange creatures as huge flying rodents, giant invertebrates, giant predatory fish, swarming flesh-eating lampreys and much more.
One thing that sets Skull Island apart from the standard "lost world" scenario is the fact that it does not make the assumption that the prehistoric survivors would come to an evolutionary standstill. The prehistoric survivor creatures of Skull Island do not belong to any of the species that actually existed in prehistory, but are instead evolutionary descendants of them. One can still see similarities between the creatures and their prehistoric ancestors, but there are also noticeable differences. e.g. The Vastatosaurus rex looks a lot like its Tyrannosaur ancestors, but has a thicker, more heavily armoured skull and a third digit on each hand (T-rex and its closest relatives had only two).
One interesting thing about Skull Island's wildlife is that there are more groups of flying creatures than in the rest of the world. As well as the local insects, birds and flying rodents, Skull Island is also home to flying cynodonts, small flying theropod dinosaurs (who use more of a leathery wing design, rather than the feathery wings of those other flying dinosaurs, the birds), and even a flying frog (though this is a rather poor flyer).
Ironically, while one pterosaur is featured in the book, this is a species that has evolved to be a flightless creature with a lifestyle similar to that of a wading bird.
The book is very well illustrated and manages to feature quite a large amount of creatures, all of which are quite interesting to see and read about.
Overall, this book is quite an excellent example of imaginary natural history.
