		<description>I believe the Giant Beaver is related to the ROAS (Rodents of Unusual Size.)  These menacing rodents prefer warm moist climates such as fireswamps.*  

Also, some scientists believe the Giant Beaver may in fact be related to my mother-in-law.  

Also the Teratorn has been sighted by Native Americans and is referred to as the Thunderbird or Piasa, The Bird that Devours Men (Again, not to be confused with my mother-in-law.)  Also in modern history there have been many reported sightings as well; even as recent as 2002 in Alaska.  

For the naysayers, there could have not been a legend in existence without experience upon which it was based.  And I beleive it has already been established that the Teratorn existed (or still exists) along with humans.  

*All comments regarding the ROAS are not factual and are intended purely for entertainment purposes.  Comments about my mother-in-law however are entirely factual and if anything, understated.</description>

		<description>By obesity epidemic, she&#039;s probably referring to this ... www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/obesity/trend/maps/index.htm

Prehistoric Fan, take everything you said about the author in your post, turn it around and apply it to yourself and you&#039;ll be much more accurate.</description>

		<description>Awesome post!  I love reading amour these giant animals.  I love pictures even more.

It is neat to know that they existed and also that we still have giant animals today.  I did not know modern elephants and mammoths were the same size.  Really?

Did you know the blue whale is still the largest mammal that ever lived?

The last comment was obviously a joke.  LOL this is a blog not a scientific journal :)</description>

		<description>I really enjoyed this entire article, the whole thing. Save the last ignorant comment. 

&quot;where will the human obesity epidemic lead us?&quot;

The author has a biased opinion on obesity, and is too inadequately educated to know before-hand that obesity has existed for a millenia. It has always been around and to simply call it a epidemic, as if it were something recently occuring ... screams prejudice. 

Suggestion to the author, try to get the facts straight, instead of spouting off regurgative nonsense. Everyone has an opinion, they are all like a anus, and they all stink.</description>
