Discovery of a Prehistoric Giant's Head the Size of a Car. AI-Generated.

Solving the Evolutionary Mystery: Discovery of a Prehistoric Giant's Head the Size of a Car Scientists have finally glimpsed the face of the largest known arthropod to ever inhabit our planet, a colossal creature resembling a millipede, thanks to the discovery of two exceptionally well-preserved fossils. This creature, known as Arthropleura, thrived during the late Paleozoic era, approximately 346 to 290 million years ago, in equatorial forests where the atmosphere was rich in oxygen. These conditions allowed these animals to grow to impressive sizes, reaching lengths of up to 2.6 meters (8.5 feet) and weighing over 45 kilograms (100 pounds).
