Last of the Giants
Last of the Giants: The Rise and Fall of Earth's Most Dominant Species | Jeff Campbell
4 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
Today, an ancient world is vanishing right before our eyes: the age of giant animals. Over 40,000 years ago, the earth was ruled by megafauna: mammoths and mastodons, saber-toothed tigers and giant sloths. Of course, those creatures no longer exist, due to the evolution and arrival of the wildly adaptive human species, among other factors. Many more of the worlds biggest and baddest creaturesincluding the black rhino, the dodo, giant tortoises, and the great aukhave vanished since our world became truly global. Last of the Giants chronicles those giant animals and apex predators who have been pushed to extinction in the modern era.

The writing style of this book is very factual and point driven. The author is making this point about how we need to focus on conservation and saving the animal species we currently have. I really like how he includes a little bit of humor throughout the book and also keep the facts interesting and based on the points he is making.

I am reading Last Of The Giants by Jeff Campbell. This book is about giant species of animals that have experienced some form of extinction. The antagonist in this book really is humans. Most of the species covered went extinct because of human actions, whether intentional or not.

Loved how informative it was and easy to follow. Learned tremendously about animals I loved and animals I had no idea existed at a certain time. Definitely pick it up for a quick, light read 🐺🐢🐘
