Still Waters Posted December 2, 2023 #1 Share Posted December 2, 2023 A remarkable reconstruction shows a 300 million-year-old millipede the length of a small car crawling around a forest floor looking for love. The footage was created for Netflix's "Life on Our Planet" — a series that brings extinct creatures back to virtual life in video footage. The clip shows Arthropleura, which at 8.5 feet (2.6 meters) long and 1.6 feet (0.5 m) wide was the biggest millipede to ever live. It likely weighed about 110 pounds (50 kilograms). https://www.livescience.com/animals/insects/watch-ancient-giant-millipede-the-size-of-a-car-brought-back-to-life-in-remarkable-reconstruction 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
