These incidents were reported
in several newspapers. In the same year, another big penguin-like
bird was seen by a private airplane pilot on the banks of the Suwannee River
in North Florida. The famed investigator of the unknown, the late Ivan
Sanderson, conducted a scientific inquiry into both cases. No conclusion or
explanation was ever reached.
In 1991, alligator bones
were found on the banks of the Amazon River. The skull was almost 5 feet
long. Based on this, scientists estimated its height to have been 8 feet
(when walking) and its length 40 feet (the size of a railroad boxcar).
Mega Fauna--No Real Place in Evolution
One reason that Giant mammals aren't currently well known is
that they aren't discussed very much by the scientific community--not like
dinosaurs are. Evolutionary theory doesn't do that great a job
of explaining why such large animals were the ancestors of the smaller
animals living today.
