Animal Giants

by Barbara Taylor

Marvel at the most magnificent and powerful animals ever to have inhabited the earth, from the fifty-ton supersaurus of the Late Jurassic era to the immense African elephant. Glory at the giants of the skies as you admire the vast wingspan of the albatross and the camouflaged elegance of the enormous female Hercules moth. Find out why living in water has allowed the blue whale to become the largest creature ever and why, for now, we can only imagine the size of the mysterious, colossal squid.

Reviews

[Lynn Davidson]

This is a beautiful book about the largest animals in the world, from prehistoric to present day. Amazing and hardly believable, but true, information about many giant creatures. Wonderful presentation and fabulous illustrations.
