Giants of the Land
Big Land Giants Animal Adventure Pack
Something powerful is changing the landscape.
Sensors across the Colossal Plains are detecting crushed vegetation, shifting migration routes, and disrupted feeding zones. Ari Raider has traced the disturbance to massive land animals whose movements shape entire ecosystems. The Professor has interfered with these giants and hidden a specimen inside a sealed Mystery Mine.
In Giants of the Land, students explore the world’s largest land animals and discover how size, strength, intelligence, and movement influence ecosystems. From keystone grazers and towering feeders to territorial giants and apex reptiles, explorers must use real animal knowledge to restore balance and unlock the Mystery Mine.
This adventure transforms animal science into a story-driven mission focused on ecosystems, adaptations, and environmental impact.
