Description: Imagine if ancient creatures fast-forwarded hundreds of millions of years to arrive on our streets and doorsteps and they look just like the creatures of today only mega-sized! Here you'll find the biggest flying insect ever, the dragonfly Meganeura, which had a 65-cm wingspan, and 7-metre Megalania, the largest terrestrial lizard.

Brilliant artwork shows familiar-yet-unfamiliar creatures in a modern setting. Step well back from the massive constrictor Titanoboa (no wonder it survived the mass extinction of the dinosaurs), the giant devil frog Beelzebufo and mighty millipede Arthropleura, the size of a modern-day alligator! Fascinating, fact-filled text tells the story of these prehistoric heroes. Respect!
