I’ve been watching Channel 4′s Inside Natures Giants. It’s a fascinating series where a team of experts dissect some of the largest creatures on the planet. They have tackled a Whale, and Elephant, a Crocodile, and a Giraffe. The dissections were all undertaken primarily to understand why the particular individual animal died, but it also allowed us to see some of the amazing evolutionary adaptations that allows the animals to be what they are.
