Marvel at their 100 million years of domination of life on earth. You get up close and personal with the two; pat them, feel the texture of their skin, walk underneath them (yes, you can walk underneath them) – take selfies too! From the ripples of their skin to the glint in their eyes, you will definitely know, the mighty giants are back.
