Almost 50 million years ago, ants the size of hummingbirds roamed what is now Wyoming, a new fossil discovery reveals. At about 2 inches long, the specimen is a "monstrously big ant.
The turtles and crocodiles that the team Fossil of 43-foot super snake excavated were probably the giant snake's Titanoboa found in Colombia primary diet, Head said. Snakes are generally able to swallow prey At 2,500 pounds and as long as a school bus, Titanoboa could eat crocodiles. It lived that weighs about the same as they do, Conrad said. Titanoboa "could eat a large after dinosaurs died out, and changes cow or a bison" -- if any had been around. scientists' ideas about 'how big a snake Instead, it probably had to settle for other can be. February 05, 2009 reptiles, sliding into the water and gulping them down in ferocious strikes. It was the mother of all snakes, a nightmarish monster as long as a school bus and as heavy as a Volkswagen Beetle that ruled the ancient Amazonian rain forest for 2 million years before slithering into nonexistence. Now this monster, which weighed in at 2,500 pounds, has resurfaced in fossils taken from an open-pit coal mine in Colombia, a startling example of growth gone wild.

LONDON This was a bug that you'd have to look up to and definitely couldn't step on. British scientists have stumbled across a fossilized claw, part of an ancient sea scorpion, that is so large it would make the entire creature the biggest bug ever. How big? Bigger than you, about 8 feet long. The discovery suggests that spiders, insects, crabs and similar creatures were much larger in the past than previously thought, said Simon Braddy, a paleontologist from the University of Bristol and one of the study's three authors. "This is an amazing discovery," Braddy said Tuesday. "We have known for some time that the fossil record yields monster millipedes, super-sized scorpions, colossal cockroaches and jumbo dragonflies. But we never realized until now just how big some of these ancient creepy-crawlies were," he said.

A canopy of water overhead would increase air pressure which allows insects to grow larger. They breath through their skin.
And God said, Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water. So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. God called the expanse sky. And there was evening, and there was morning the second day. Genesis 1: 6-8
Madagascar cockroaches are often kept as exotic pets, and do not bite. They need a small living area and a spot for them to hide because they do not like the light. They also need sticks because they sometimes like to climb. They sometimes will choose trees if rotten logs and leaves are not available.
Remember no cockroach will choose this over a log or leaves. The living area must be tested to see if they can climb it as they can climb most kinds. Fish tanks with screens work best but it is also wise to coat the first few inches with petroleum jelly to keep them from getting out. They can live on fresh vegetables along with any kind of pellet food that is high in protein, such as dry dog food.
Cockroaches over 18 inches [45 cm] long have been found in the fossil record!

Scientists in central Australia have discovered fossils of a giant prehistoric goose which stood as tall as an elephant and weighed up to half a ton [1,000 lbs.] The flightless birds are thought to have browsed on leaves, fruit and seed pods, although some scientists say their powerful beaks could have been used to eat meat.

A canopy of water overhead would increase air pressure which puts more air into the water and allows more and bigger fish to live.

Sometimes in amber, which is petrified tree sap, they find air bubbles trapped. The air bubbles trapped in amber have 50% more oxygen than we do today. Today we are breathing 21% oxygen, amber bubbles have 32% oxygen. Well, evolution teaches that the earth had no oxygen at the beginning when life was 'evolving'. This is not true. The air bubbles in the amber prove that the earth had more oxygen in the past than it does today.
The biggest pterosaur flying over the inland sea is Pteranodon. Like all reptiles, it grows throughout its life

If a gila monster this size lived in an oxygen rich habitat, then it would live longer , and as a reptile, it would grow bigger.
Maybe this big????? Today, we would call it a dinosaur, not a gila monster.
Triceratops
Dinosaur means terrible lizard. What were they called before 1800?
Look at the behemoth, which I made along with you and which feeds on grass like an ox. What strength he has in his loins, what power in the muscles of his bellly! His tail sways like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are close-knit His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like rods of iron. He ranks first among the works of God. Job 40:15-19
Can you pull in the leviathan with a fishhook or tie down his tongue with a rope? His back has rows of shields tightly sealed together; each is so close to the next that no air can pass between. They are joined fast to one another; they cling together and cannot be parted. His snorting throws out flashes of light; his eyes are like the rays of dawn. Firebrands stream from his mouth; sparks of fire shoot out. Smoke pours from his nostrils as from a boiling pot over a fire of reeds. His breath sets coals ablaze, and flames dart from his mouth. Job 41:1, 15-20
A well known, old science book in Europe, the Historia Animalium, claims that dragons were still not extinct in the 1500s. But the animals were said to be extremely rare and relatively small by then.
A scientist named Ulysses Aldrovandus carefully described a small dragon seen along a farm road in northern Italy. The date was May 13, 1572. The poor, rare creature was so little that a farmer killed it just by knocking it on the head with his walking stick. The animal had done nothing wrong but hiss at the farmers oxen as they approached it on the road. The scientist got the dead body and made measurements and a drawing. He even had the animal mounted for a museum. It had a long neck, a very long tail and a fat body. The skeletons of a number of reptile-like creatures match this basic description.
Thousand of dragon stories and pictures can be found in ancient Chinese books and art. One interesting legend tells about a famous Chinese man named Yu. After the great world flood, Yu surveyed the land of China and divided it into sections. He build channels to drain the water off to the sea and helped make the land livable again. Many snakes and dragons were driven from the marshlands when Yu created the new farmlands. Some old Chinese books even tell of a family that kept dragons and raised the babies. It is said that in those days, Chinese kings used dragons for pulling royal chariots on special occasions.
A skeleton nine feet eight inches tall was recovered from a stone burial mound at Brewersville, Indiana in 1879.
Indianapolis News, November 10, 1975 quoted in Readers Digest Mysteries of the Unexplained
Buried beneath heavy layers of shell some 30 feet below the city [Shreveport, LA], Mr. J.M. Clay found unmistakable evidence of a prehistoric race. Huge bones similar in every respect to a mans were found in thick layers of clam shells. As many as 20 skeletons were found intact. Every skeleton was fully nine feet high.

Our friends told us how and from where they came into this country, and how they had settled themselves there; how it came that, even though they lived close to the Mexicans [Aztecs], they resembled each other so little, and lived in constant warfare with each other. The tradition was also handed down from their forefathers, that in ancient times there lived here a race of men and women who were of immense stature with heavy bones, and were a very bad and evil-disposed people, whom they had for the greater part exterminated by continual war, and the few that were left gradually died away.
[Taken from Discovery and Conquest of Mexico and New Spain,
In order to give us an idea of the huge size of this people, they dragged forth a bone, or rather a thigh bone, of one of those giants, which was very strong, and measured the length of an entire man of good size. This bone was still entire from the knee to the hip joint. I measured it against myself and found it to be of my own length, although I am a man of considerable height. They showed us many similar pieces of bones, but they were all wormeaten and decayed, we however did not doubt for an instant that this country was once inhabited by giants. Cortes observed that we ought to forward these bones to his Majesty in Spain by the very first opportunity.

Giants have been found in Texas, Arizona, Ohio, Europe and in central Asia.
In the late 1950s, during road construction in Egypt, many tombs containing the remains of giants were uncovered. At the sites the leg bones were measured to be 47 inches. Joe Taylor, Director of Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum, was hired to sculpt the human femur. This size femur bone belonged to a person standing 16 feet tall.
Genesis 6:4 claims: There were giants in the earth in those days.
Deuteronomy 3:11 states that the bed of Og, king of Bashan, was approximately 14 ft long by 6 ft wide. In his book Fossils Facts & Fantasies, Joe Taylor tells of several findings of giant human skeletons from Egypt, Italy, Patagonia in Argentina, and the western US. The largest humans in recent history are like Robert Wadlow of Alton, IL (who was just under 9ft tall) who died in 1940. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m eDQT0yJR5Y
