If you like nature and wildlife, you should check out the Wikipedia article, “Largest Organisms.” It is incredibly fascinating. Just getting a taste of the megafauna and megaflora of the past gives us a new perspective on life in our world today. (There is a similar Wikipedia article, with pictures at the end, called “Megafauna.”)
Since childhood, I’ve always been fascinated by dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures. The small library at the church I attended as a child had a children’s encyclopedia set with many pages of artists’ interpretations of prehistoric life. I loved looking at all the strange and wonderful creatures. Other books, TV programs, and museums also contributed to this interest.
