WORLD'S 10 BIGGEST ANIMALS OF ALL TIME
With the human minds manipulating technology every day, we could be called the smartest
of the species on Earth, without a doubt!
But if you dream about the largest creatures, we are sorry to tell you that humans aren’t
featuring anywhere on the list!
We are tiny tots among other species that Mother Nature has nurtured in millions of
years.
Yea sure enough giraffes are larger than us but we aint talking about them.
Shocked?
Cool, let’s start our jungle safari to spot the largest animals that ever existed on our
planet!
Number 10.
Titanoboa The largest snake to ever exist, Titanoboa
went extinct some 60 million years ago, we aren’t crying over our loss!
Though the giant snake wasn’t venomous, it could still have killed us.
You wonder why?
Oh boy, that snake weighed about 2500 pounds now imagine getting crushed under it!
This 15 meter long predator could swallow a crocodile, can you imagine that?
Oh we forgot to tell you that the beast could suffocate its prey with its large body.
That surely is scary!
Number 9.
Syrian Camel You weren’t expecting a camel to be in this
list.
But we are here to surprise you, aren’t we?
So here stands a camel that has been extinct for 100,000 years now, that is relatively
recent from the archaeological point of view!
The Syrian Camel was about 4 meter in length, twice the length of the camels we know today!
The fossils were first found in 2003 along with that of prehistoric man which suggests
that it might be driven to extinction due to hunting!
Poor animal, we miss you!
Number 8.
African Bush Elephant We can’t drop the heaviest and largest animal
of present day from this list, can we?
The majestic elephant stretches 3 meters in height and 7 meters in length, that really
is huge!
Talking of its weight, you aren’t questioning it because hello, it weighs 6 tons.
You can’t imagine such a massive animal to be hunted down by other predators but its
young aren’t so lucky, they turn into a dinner dish for tigers and crocodiles.
Oh you bad boys, that’s not done!
Number 7.
Blue Whale The largest animal known to ever exist on
Earth is the blue whale and boy, is that huge!
Imagine a sea creature as long as 30 meters swimming while you try scuba diving.
That image is enough to leave you shocked for like a decade!
Did we go too far?
But the 180 ton whale is nothing less than a monster, we aren’t exaggerating or are
we?
Never mind when you spot it, you lose your mind!
Number 6.
Shastasauras At 21 meters and 75 tons, Shastasauras made
it to this list.
This marine reptile was so huge that it could take it a lot more air than the smaller ichthyosaur
and could thus stay down underwater for longer periods of time.
To our amazement, this animal had a short toothless jaw!
So maybe it fed by opening its mouth wide and gulping everything in like a vacuum action!
Whatever way it ate, we are glad it isn’t alive and feeding on the human kind!
Number 5.
Paraceratherium The hornless rhinoceros is among the largest
terrestrial mammals to ever step on earthly grounds.
This beast lived some 23 million years ago and we are glad it didn’t make an appearance
again!
The 7 meter long animal had a height of 5 meters and a weight of 20 tons.
Dude that is grand and you can’t doubt it!
You know the most interesting thing about this scary rhino?
Man, Paraceratherium was herbivore!
Number 4.
Whale Shark The 12 meter long and 21 ton whale shark is
another large animal that surely belongs in this list.
The animal has many records to its credit but the most striking of them is that it is
largest non living non-mammalian vertebrate, wow!
Yea, that was kinda confusing but never mind!
Anyway you don’t have to be afraid of this shark because it’s very friendly and in
case you meet her in the waters, hitch a ride with her.
She won’t mind it!
Number 3.
Leedsichthys The whale shark is the biggest fish today
but the title of the biggest fish ever definitely belongs to Leedsichthys.
There is no way that this 16 meter long and 50 ton fish isn’t making it to this list.
Man, it definitely was monstrously huge, come on look at the dimensions!
You can date it back to the Jurassic era when dinosaurs roamed the planet.
It would feast on plankton, shrimps and jellyfish, quite like the whale shark.
So can we call it harmless?
Number 2.
Megalodon Holding the record of the largest shark ever,
Megalodon is much greater than the modern day Great White!
The huge beast went extinct some 2.6 million years ago and whatever we know of it is through
fossils.
Would you believe us if we say that it measured 18 meters in length?
That’s not all people, this huge beast weight about 30 times that of the great white, somewhere
around 3 tons!
OMG, that is shocking!
Number 1.
Spinosaurus Yea we know dinosaurs were practically huge
in terms of size and lived years before humans came into being.
But let’s zero down to Spinosaurus, the one you’ve seen in the movie Jurassic park
3.
For those of you who are new to the animal, it was the largest carnivorous dinosaur to
exist and that is an achievement in itself!
As per research it could reach a length of 15 meters with a maximum weight of 20 tons.
Do you want to question its enormous structure?
Which of these beasts astounded you the most?
