Throughout our planet's 4.5 billion years of history, billions of species have appeared and disappeared. Some were small, some were moderately-sized, and some were humongous. There have been many massive animals that roamed the Earth, although the last Ice Age wiped out a good chunk of them.
We all know about the dinosaurs, the whales, and the big African elephants. But what other large animals are there? Do you know what the world's biggest living bird, lizard, snake or rodent is? Well, take this quiz to find out if you are right. This quiz will test your knowledge of the big, bigger, and biggest species of the animal kingdom that are still living today (or have ever lived).
