Why is prehistoric life sp fucking cool? Sharks the size of whales, Turtles the size of cars, and even insects the size of humans! It's like prehistory was a real life MMORPG.

To be fair, a lot of these cool life forms did not coexist as they lived at different time periods.

I'd like to provide more info here with specific examples.
>Sharks the size of whales
These actually exist today.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whale_shark
>Turtles the size of cars
You are probably referring the Archelon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archelon
>insects the size of humans
Not exactly. The largest insect ever was Meganeuropsis, which was 17 inches long.

I think you are referring to Arthropleura.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthropleura
Anyways Arthropleura was not an insect. Millipedes are not insects they are actually in a class of their own.
