Earth's Giants (If Prehistoric Beasts Were Here Today) - Softcover

Earth s Giants...This book features ten prehistoric giants that are similar to and resemble ones we find today. Similar they may be but a giant ape (Gigantopithecus) is somewhat bigger than any primate you may have seen to date. There is no tree big enough for this beast to climb he weighs in at 540kg (1,190Ib) and is 3m (10ft) tall! If Prehistoric Beasts Were Here Today.... Dinosaurs have captured the headlines as the most exciting animals to roam the Earth over the past 250 million years. This series however, focuses on a host of animals that preceded, lived alongside and survived them for nearly 500 million years. In order to bring these creatures to life they are shown in modern day environments, providing a real sense of scale. An area of natural history not usually written about but is equally as exciting as dinosaurs themselves.
