The average height of a person is 165 cm (5′ 5″). The largest and heaviest mammals ever to have lived on land were the indricotheriums. They were almost 5 meters (16.4 feet) high and weighed 17-20 tons. The giant deep-sea squid species of the family can grow to enormous sizes, with the latest estimate of up to 13 m (43 ft). Historically, our planet has seen many such giants. But why does nature make animals of different sizes at all? Why are some animals big and others small? How is this defined? Are there size limits? Why were dinosaurs so huge, but now there are no such living organisms? Is it good to be huge? And is it possible for a real Godzilla or King Kong to exist? Let's dive in to find out this and so much more!
