Arthropleura was a giant relative of centipedes and millipedes that lived in Great Britain and North America during the Carboniferous period. It is the largest known land invertebrate of all time, and grew so large because of the high concentration of oxygen in Carboniferous Earth's atmosphere.

| - Arthropleura was a giant relative of centipedes and millipedes that lived in Great Britain and North America during the Carboniferous period. It is the largest known land invertebrate of all time, and grew so large because of the high concentration of oxygen in Carboniferous Earth's atmosphere.
- Arthropleura was a distant relative of modern millipedes and centipedes - an arthropleurid anthropod. It grew to 2.3 metres in length, as tall as a man and as long as a car.
- Arthropleurat ovat 2 bioa pitkiä tuhatjalkaisen sukulaisia. Niitä asuu Tegna Nuin länsiosassa.
- Arthropleura was a giant millipede-like creature. When reared up, it could reach the size of a grown man. Arthropleura was also possibly the largest land arthropod of all time. Its jaws were designed to tackle vegetation, but occasionally it could have used them to tear apart smaller creatures. Arthropleura thrived in the coal forests of the Carboniferous, as with other bugs. The rise of oxygen meant they could reach bigger sizes. Arthropleura had few enemies, but could have battled giant amphibians (Proterogyrinus)
- arthropleura is a giant that lived in the carboniferous it had maundables with venom but arthropleura is long as a man appeard in prehistoric park nigel and his team but nigel hear a sound he run and he tumbled he run theres an arthropleura but nigel thought the arthropleura that he saw was agressive but nigel got down and the arthropleura got away but a astoroid vanish into earth but new york is underwater in the cretaceous and its the home from the cretaceous shark called cretoxyrhina commonly the ginsu shark was a shark from cretaceous seas
- La arthropleura es un milpies gigante que puede llegar a los 2,60 m de longitud era herbivoro pero podia llegar a atacar si se le molestaba... el depredador eran lo anfibios reptiles
- Contrary to earlier and popular beliefs, Arthropleura was not a predator but a herbivorous arthropod. Because none of the known fossils have the mouth preserved, scientists suppose that Arthropleura did not have strongly sclerotized and powerful mouth parts, because such would have been preserved at least in some of the fossils. Some fossils have been found with lycopod fragments and pteridophyte spores in the gut and in associated coprolites.[1]
