Definitely worthy the scroll!

#22Are there supposed to be pictures? I passed a human silhouette, but that was it.

Makes a good profile description on certain websites.

#24I don't understand how the location of a 377 foot tall tree could be kept secret. Wouldn't that type of thing be visible in satellite imagery at the very least?
It isn't a secret. The location can easily be found if you Google it.
It is literally a secret. The location cannot easily be found with Google. Go ahead, try and find it.

#25Beautiful! I love the human feet always visible in the background! It helps me set perspective.

#26> Velociraptor
> Smaller than usually depicted, the Velociraptor was actually only about the size of a turkey.
This is an interesting fact.

#27It seems to be like some of the scales slightly off? If you are looking at the ladybird (ladybug) with the amoeba to the left, the amoeba isn't an order of the magnitude smaller - it would actually be visible by the human eye (bigger than a grain of sand)? Indeed, the amoeba seems the same size as the ladybird's foot? Similarly, this makes the bumblebee appear smaller than a human finger (the in the adjacent picture)…
I came to the comments to express surprise that amoebas were so large. It appears they vary wildly in size (as small as 2.3 micrometers... but up to 20 cm, or nearly 8 inches).

#28Nice that the back button works.

#29Pretty glad the 9 foot long Arthopleura centipede went extinct 300 million years ago. No one wants to deal with that thing.

I'm seeing the amoeba as approximately the size of the heel segment of a ladybug's leg. I consider lady bugs pretty small in an intuitive sense, their legs quite small and the smallest end segment to be especially small. I think that leaves an amoeba on the fringes of distinguishable perception which seems right to me, unless I'm overestimating their size.
