A select few Gargantuan fauna come: Giant Rat, Giant Wolf, Cave Bear, Giant Squid, Colossal Squid, Condor, Irish Elk, Dinosaur (giant lizards), Giant Ant, Bird-Eating Spider, Blue Whale (the big brute olympic games in todays world), jumbo hare, elephantine bird of night, Aepyornis or even Moa, Giant Clam, Boa Constrictor, Giant Wombat, Giant Sloth, prehistoric dragonfly, Giant Shark (Megalodon), Giant Octopus, Wooly mammoth, African elephant, saltwater crocodile, jumbo Ginsu Shark, giant batrachian, giant vulture.

Gargantuan creature develop naturally across hundreds to thousands of years, once food sources come plentiful. After a globe is warmly, cold-cold brute (prefer lizards), plants, & insects develop big, when warmly full-blood fauna (prefer mammalian) shrink. Once a globe is colder, like in the Ice Ages, warm-inhuman animate being become big, piece cold-blooded creature develop little. Several of the big brute that survive now come remnant of the hot & cold periods of the globe. Occasionally examples of remaining animate being come a crocodile (from either a instance of dinosaurs) & a polar bear, the world's largest bear in todays world.

A bit of jumbo animate being come legends, or even come and then uncommon, that it develop been seen sole by two or three population. However more giant creature come thought to exist as strictly local folklore & myth.
