Lesson 26-2 Thepast life of the earth

The remains ofplants and animals that lived on land are much more rarely preserved, for thereis seldom anything to cover them over. When you think of the innumerable birdsthat one sees flying about, not to mention theequally numerous small animals like field mice and voles which you do not see,it is very rarely that one comes across a dead body, except, of course, on theroads. They decompose and are quickly destroyed by the weather or eaten by someother creature.

It is almostalways due to some very special circumstances that traces of land animalssurvive, as by falling into inaccessible caves, or into an ice crevasse, likethe Siberian mammoths, when the whole animal is sometimes preserved, as in arefrigerator.
