Animals come in all shapes and sizes, today we gathered a list of the worlds cutest to scariest large animals! 14 - Size Matters… Longhorn Cattle originate in England and were used as draft animals and milk used for butter and cheese. The longest horns ever measured were 117.25 inches in length, and although this longhorn’s doesn’t reach that length – the thickness of them is super impressive. 13 - New discoveries… Scientists who were conducting an incredibly comprehensive survey in the Antarctic Waters of New Zealand, were excited to discover some pretty big sea animals – including a jellyfish with 12-feet tentacle and these starfish that measured 2-foot wide! They’re called Macroptychaster sea stars and were discovered in 2008. 12 - This is no Babe… The size of this pig is astronomical… and he has the title of the world’s biggest pig. He lives on a farm in Wafagdian City, weighs 1984 pounds and was fed quality food it’s whole life. 11 - Float On… These are Nomura Jellyfish, and you find them off the coast of Japan. They weigh around 440 pounds and are roughly the same size as the Lions Mane Jelly Fish. The Japanese have nicknamed them Godzilla, and although they’re considered edible, they’re not very good quality. 10- Some Bunny Loves you… Well, there’s a whole lot of love to go around. Flemish Rabbits are the biggest rabbits of the rabbit breed. They date back to the 1500’s, and the males can weigh around 22-pounds and the females 20-pounds. They are often displayed as show pets, and can live for up to 10 years. 9 - Shrouded in mystery… One of the world’s largest fresh water fish is the giant sting ray. There is no idea of how many of them are left, where they prefer living and whether they head to the ocean at all. They can reach 16.5 feet and weigh as much as 1320 pounds. There have been reports of these rays pulling boats along in the water and even underwater. 8 - A mighty beast… This is Rupert the cat, who at 3 years of age weighed 3 times that of a regular cat and he was expected to add another 11-pounds to that weight. Rupert will weight around 30-35 pounds as a fully grown adult. 7 - Too good to be true? This giant rat was killed in a NY Foot Locker store in the Bronx in 2012. There are many who claim it to be a fake, but according to many well-reputed websites, it’s very possible that it’s a Gambian Pouched Rat and that this is not the first time rats of this size have been spotted in NYC. 6 - Life is better with a dog… It’s easy to see how Gibson won the title for the World’s Biggest Dog in 2004, because he was 42.2 inches tall. He was a therapy dog and appeared on several television shows. He only lived for 5 years, and sadly lost his fight against cancer. 5 - Mistaken Identity… This is a liger… a hybrid between a male lion and female tiger. They weigh around 900 pounds, and this one is called Hercules – the World’s Biggest Cat. The term liger was coined in the 1930’s and Hercules is expected to live a long healthy life. 4 - Happy Australia Day… Let’s celebrate kangaroos, desert, beer, cricket and really big animals! This saltwater crocodile was captured on film and is thought to be around 18-feet in length. Think I’ll steer away from the waters and go grab a vegemite sandwich. 3 - Moose Ahead… No idea where this image was captured, but this must be one of the biggest moose out there! They are the largest member of the deer family, and can weigh up to 1200 pounds. In the summer they can devour 73 pounds of food a day, and although they’re massive – they’re no match to a bear or a pack of wolves. 2 - Looks can be deceiving… This is a red Tibetan Mastiff, and apparently they can cost over a million dollars for one. In fact, one was bought for 1.5 million, making it the most expensive dog sale in the world. Bearing that in mind, how bizarre is it – that a zoo in China was trying to pass one of these dogs off as a Lion, in the lion enclosure. With that kind of money, why didn’t they just buy a few lions? This one is particularly impressive, with its gigantic size! 1 - Good enough to eat… The Giant African Land Snail is very impressive. They have noted that some shells have grown as large as 7 inches, and they can live for up to 10 years in the ideal living conditions. It’s considered one of the most invasive species in the world, and eats around 500 different types of plants. So if you thought your small snails were a problem, be glad you don’t have these in your garden!
