World's largest animals

bigpaw
Just like humans come in all shapes and sizes, so do animals. Similar to how some humans are crazily big and tall there are some animals that are far bigger than you’d expect! Here are some of them.

African Giant Snail
Although these snails look no differed than the ones you may find in your garden – they certainly are bigger! These African Giant Snails can grow up to 8 inches in length.

Flemish Rabbit
This isn’t your typical bunny! Flemish rabbits can weight anywhere between 6.4kg and 10kg! If it wasn’t for the unmissable rabbit ears, you might mistake this fluffy giant for a dog!
Giant Freshwater Stingray
These water monsters can weigh up to 590kg! They are also endangered in many of the Asian waterways were they are found.
Coconut Crab
You won’t find this guy on your typical beach! The coconut crab has huge powerful claws which are strong enough to crack open coconuts. They are also a bit bigger than your average crab!
Giant George the Great Dane
Giant George holds a world record in the Guinness Book of Records and weighs 111kgs and eats almost 50 kgs of dog food every month.
African Goliath Frog
This huge frog can live for up to 15 years and eats everything from birds to snakes!
Nomura’s Jellyfish
This huge stinger is found in the waters off Japan and can weigh up to 199kg.
Mekong Catfish
This fish can be found in the polluted waterways of China and can grow up to 3 metres long and weighs up to 294kgs.
Trigger the Cow
Trigger is almost 2 metres tall, is 4 metres long and weighs over a ton! Scientist believe that the beef from Trigger along could produce 7665 Big Mac burgers!
Bismarck Flying Fox
This is the largest bat in the world! They live in the treetops of New Guinea and eats fruit.

    1. Hi Sarah,
      I found that on Kiwi Kids News.
      And actually, we had the African giant snails at our house in Taiwan!
      I think they might still be there....
