10 Extremely Large Animals You Need To See
Isn’t it natural to overlook small things when giants exist to capture all our attention?
So it is but obvious that humans are so obsessed with hugeness, you see we can’t blame them!
We now know why women are so attracted towards big diamonds and men have an inclination towards
huge cars!
But this attraction isn’t limited to breathless things; living creatures with extra ordinary
size have managed to create their space in the list of favorites!
If size matters for you, stay tuned for we are unveiling some unbelievably huge creatures
that are sure to leave you awestruck!
Tallest Giraffe, Zulu Giraffes are naturally supposed to be pretty
tall so what’s so special about this one?
Well the average giraffe stands as tall as 4.5 meters, huge we should say.
But Zulu can easily dwarf all his friends with his towering height of 5.7 meters!
Weighing an enormous 1.3 tons, Zulu is quiet a giant but a gentle one at that.
Some lucky kids have been able to pat him on the head and brush his nose, sounds so
cute!
Biggest rabbit, Darius Yes you guessed it right, the Continental
Giant breed of rabbits make for this spot as they can grow up to 1.2 meters.
But…Darius reaches a length of 1.32 meters, wow!
This cutie giant weighs at a whopping 50 pounds and along with his son Jeff, can munch 700
apples and 2000 carrots every year.
Well, that is a LOT of food and costs the owner, Annette Edwards $6410 but she loves
it.
We love them too, hi5!
Longest house cat, Ludo Felines are as loved as the adorable barking
creatures and are great house pets.
So any love for cats?
If yes, you totally need to see the world’s longest cat, our very furry Ludo!
Being a Maine Coon, he was bound to be a giant house cat but surely the owners had no idea
that he could become the longest in the species.
Ludo measures 118.33 cm in length and is very friendly, so don’t be scared to say a hello
to him!
Tallest horse, Big Jake One mention of horses and your thoughts will
surely race back to royalty for it surely is a majestic animal!
They are generally tall but Jerry Gilbert’s horse is the tallest and you aint doubting
that one!
Standing tall at 210.2cm, this 2600 pound creature is friendly with animals and is a
hard worker once hitched to a wagon.
The most interesting part is that this giant is on a healthy diet and consumes 1.5 bales
of hay along with 40 quarts of oats per day!
We hope Jake doesn’t start weight lifting now!
Biggest Liger, Hercules A hybrid of a lion and tigress, Hercules makes
it to the biggest liger!
Currently housed at Myrtle Beach Safari, he measures 3.33 meter in length and 1.25 meters
in height and if that isn’t enough, he weight about 922 pounds!
Isn’t it interesting that ligers are generally larger than their two parental species?
And if you are thinking about the reverse, a tigon who is an offspring of a tiger and
lioness is much smaller.
We surely have an interesting universe!
Longest crocodile, Lolong This massive saltwater crocodile was captured
when a 5.48 meter Cassius was the longest crocodile in captivity.
Yea you guessed it right, Lolong was longer and crowned the title after he was measured
to be 6.17 meters in 2011!
100 people were needed to drag this violent beast to land; it isn’t too much keeping
in mind that it weighed 2370 pounds.
Sadly he left us mourning on February 10, 2013 at the ripe age of 50!
Tallest dog, Zeus There can be no better friend than a dog and
when you know it, you’ve learnt the best lesson of life!
Well, imagine this friend to be 2.2 meter tall when standing on his hind legs.
Isn’t that the best spectacle you’d ever witness!
That’s Zeus, the tallest dog ever with 155 pounds trained as a therapy dog to sit on
your lap and make you smile.
Though we doubt you’d smile if that massive a dog sat on you!
Sadly he passed away at the age of 6, normal for the Great Dane breed.
We miss you boy!
Largest Stingray You weren’t expecting a stingray on this
list, were you?
Well, when famous TV personality Jeff Corwin caught a stingray, he brought to light a giant
creature!
With a weight of 800 pounds, it took 2 hours to reel in.
Not only that, this particular stingray measured 243cm wide while on the longer end it was
close to 427cm.
Though stingrays are known for their notorious stings, we had no clue they could be so huge.
Let’s just thank Jeff one more time!
Longest snake, Medusa Clocked in at 7.67 meters, Medusa became the
longest living captivated snake on October 12, 2011!
This reticulated python is owned by Full Moon Productions Inc in Kansas City.
One look at this beauty and you’ll freeze in your spot because come on, the creepy figure
you see at the productions is a REAL python!
Medusa’s length is also not going to calm you down so be prepared for a shock, a rather
big one at that.
Say a little prayer in your heart when you enter ‘The Edge of Hell Haunted House’
where she is currently kept!
Tallest Cow, Blosom A female Holstein, Blosom was recognized as
the world’s tallest cow but only a month after she left us.
What a sad thing for our lovely lady!
The 2000 pound cow died at the age of 13, when she 1.9 meters in height.
She indeed was huge and extremely friendly.
Her owner decided to let her stay as a pet even after she could no longer bear calves,
humanity still exists.
Later she also became the farm’s official greeter; with that height she could easily
highlight the farm’s image!
