The Coming of Life
The Permian Period
The name comes from a part of Russia
called Perm, situated at the foot of
the Ural Mountains, where the first
fossils of this period were found.
It was a very cold period.
Some amphibians returned to the
water to live while others learned to live
entirely on land by evolving into reptiles.
In the beginning these reptiles
were small, but having no enemies
they became masters of the land,
continually multiplying and growing
larger and larger until they
became true giants.
Instead of depositing their eggs
in water, they now laid them in
the sand where the rays of
the sun could warm them.
By this time many plants and
animals lived on the land and the
Paleozoic Era came to a close.
