Welcome friends! I have an almost unhealthy obsession with the science of body size. Here at Story of Size you find reliable information and current news on the record holders of the animal kingdom. Story of Size provides everything you wanted to know about the largest creatures and the smallest beasties. Want to know what the largest sponge is? We got that! Want to know what the smallest velvet worm is? Don’t know what a velvet worm is? We got you covered.
On the left you will find the smallest and largest for every phylum of animal. Eventually we’ll add more information on different groups like insects, crabs, rodents, snails, and so forth. Want to know what the largest and smallest are for a certain group? Ask in the comments below and we’ll do the research.
In the middle you will find posts on current news and research on body size. Again feel free to post links below to anything you find new and interesting. You can also navigate these posts with the handy categories on the right side.
Welcome also to the beginning of I and Carin’s project to develop a Story of Size video series. You will get news about this as we continue on the path to television fame and wealth struggle and heartbreak!
Enjoy! Please come back and visit!
