SciShow | Six-Foot Long Millipedes?! And Other Fossil Giants @SciShow | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 days ago
Six-foot millipedes? The biggest apes ever? And a kangaroo too big to hop? These are just a few of the biggest animals of their kinds to ever exist, and they're not just big, they're WEIRD. So let's talk about why Gigantopithecus went extinct, how we know that there were once squirrels the size of corgis, and how we think humans may have eaten all the world's biggest lemurs into extinction.
