Description: The wooly mammoth is a familiar Ice Age giant, but yet further back in time a vast array of supersized mammals and reptiles was on parade. Some even looked like a mix of the tow, such as 4.5-metre Estemmenosuchus (croc or hippo?), known for its many horns.

Now imagine these beasts arriving in the modern world: Paraceratherium, a type of rhino 8-metres long, lumbering along the streets of New York City; or the giant turtle Stupendemys amazing the people of Florida with its 3-metre shell. Look inside to view these very scenes and more, matched with vital statistics and data drawn from fossil evidence and brilliant scientific deduction.
