BIGGEST ANIMALS IN THE WORLD #6



BIGGEST ANIMALS IN THE WORLD #6 From biggest dog to World’s largest crocodile these animals are really enormous! Some of em (like the biggest anaconda or like the giant squid) are a little bit scary but they’re cool anyways… We all love animals (especially the huge ones) and I think you’ll like this video… However like, comment and leave and opinion about these large creatures! A lot of people often ask me what’s the biggest animal on Earth? – Well, it’s a tricky question because what do you mean?! – The biggest mammal or the largest bird? Or maybe the biggest reptile? … If you mean mammal then it’s the Blue Whale (according to some scientist it’s the megalodon shark – biggest shark ever …but in my own opinion this enormous underwater creature is not alive anymore so it’s the Blue Whale). The blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder of baleen whales. At 30 metres (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight, it is the largest known animal to have ever existed. The Blue Whale’s tongue weighs around 2.7 metric tons (5,952 pounds), about the size of an average Asian Elephant and its heart weighs about 600 kg (1,300 lb) and is the largest known in any animal. The Heaviest Land Animal in the World: The African Bush Elephant The African Bush Elephant is the largest living terrestrial (land) animal, with males reaching 6 to 7.5 metres (19.7 to 24.6 ft) in length, 3.3 metres (10.8 ft) in height at the shoulder, and weighing 6 t (13,000 lb). Females are much smaller, reaching 5.4 to 6.9 metres (17.7 to 22.6 ft) in length, 2.7 metres (8.9 ft) in height at the shoulder, and weighing 3 t (6,600 lb). The Tallest Land Animal in the World: The Giraffe The giraffe (Giraffa camelopardalis) is an African even-toed ungulate mammal and the tallest living terrestrial animal in the world. It stands 5–6 m (16–20 ft) tall and has an average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males and 830 kg (1,800 lb) for females. The Largest Land Carnivores in the World: The Polar Bear and Kodiak Bear The largest living land carnivores are the Polar Bear (Ursus maritime) and the Kodiak bear, a Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) subspecies. Since they have similar body sizes, it is not clear which is definitively larger. The Largest Reptile in the World: The Saltwater Crocodile The saltwater crocodile (Crocodylus porosus), is the largest of all living reptiles. It is found in suitable habitats from Northern Australia through Southeast Asia to the eastern coast of India. An adult male saltwater crocodile’s weight is 409 to 1,000 kilograms (900–2,200 lb) and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5 metres (13–18 ft). The Largest Amphibian in the World: The Chinese Giant Salamander The Chinese giant salamander (Andrias Davidians) is the largest salamander in the world, reaching a length of 180 cm (6 ft), although it rarely – if ever – reaches that size today. The Largest Bony Fish in the World: The Ocean Sunfish Osteichthyes, also called bony fish, are a taxonomic group of fish that have bony, as opposed to cartilaginous, skeletons. The vast majority of fish are Osteichthyes, which is an extremely diverse and abundant group consisting of over 29,000 species. It is the largest class of vertebrates in existence today. The Largest Lizard/Snake in the World: The Green Anaconda The most massive living member of this giant reptilian order is the Green Anaconda (Eunectes murinus) of the neotropical riverways. The maximum verified size is 7.5 m (25 ft) and 250 kg (550 lb), although rumors of larger anacondas persist. The Reticulated Python (Python reticulatus) of Southeast Asia is longer but more slender, and has been reported to measure as much as 9.7 m (32 ft) in length. The Largest Arthropod in the World: The Japanese spider crab The Japanese spider crab is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around Japan. It has the largest leg span of any arthropod, reaching up to 3.8 metres (12 ft) and weighing up to 41 pounds (19 kg). In its natural habitat, the Japanese spider crab feeds on shellfish and animal carcasses and may live for up to 100 years. What's your favourite animal here? Do you have any pets?
