Top 7 Biggest Animals

Animals take many shapes and forms and come in a great diversity of sizes, from microscopic to the 30m long blue whale! Whether you measure in terms of weight, height, or length, there is no denying some animals are huge in comparison to others in their class.

7. Saltwater Crocodile
The largest living reptile is the Saltwater Crocodile, growing to an average length of 17 ft (5.2 m), although they can reach 21 ft (6.3m) in length and weigh up to ~1,000 lb (453 kg). They are distributed widely in brackish and salt waters in parts of India, Asia, and Australia and feed on all animals they can get their teeth into, which includes sharks if they get the chance.

6. Whale Shark
Heading underwater, the largest living fish is the 40 ft (12 m) long Whale Shark. Weighing up to 20 tons, they are an impressive sight, despite their size, they feed mostly on tiny plankton.

5. Brown Bear
The position of the largest living land carnivore is shared between Brown Bears and Polar Bears. Weighing a whopping 907 kg (1 ton) and reaching up to 10 ft (3 m) tall when standing on their hind legs, they’ve definitely earned their spot as the biggest. While you’ll find Brown Bears in the forests and mountains of North America, Europe, and Asia, you need to head further north to the Arctic Circle to catch a glimpse of Polar Bears, who split their time between the sea and ice and feed mostly on seals.

4. Giraffe
At a height of 19 ft (5.8 m), the Giraffe is the tallest living animal on Earth; the neck alone is 6 ft (1.8 m) tall. At home in the grasslands of East Africa, they feed mostly on vegetation high off the ground, using their long prehensile tongues to pull young shoots and leaves from the trees. Babies are born after a 15 month gestation period and are already 2 m tall!

3. African Elephant
The largest living land animal is the African Elephant which can weigh up to 7 tons, they typically grow to 35 ft (10.6 m) from trunk to tail and have a shoulder height of 13 ft (4.2 m).

2. Colossal Squid
The size of the colossal squid is often exaggerated, the largest squid recorded was 14 m (45 ft) long. They have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom, reaching 25 cm (10 in) in diameter! The colossal squid has 3 hearts, something that is not very usual in marine species, but apparently, the more we read, this big squid will never stop surprising us. Two of their hearts work to bring enough oxygen to their respiratory organs, and the third heart has the function of transporting fully oxygenated blood throughout their body. This means that everything has a reason and why, so the reason why they have this abnormality, is because of the above, and although it seems strange to us, for them it is essential.

1. Blue Whale
The Blue whale is the largest animal of all time, reaching a weight of about 180 tons and a length of 30 m (98 ft). Their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant and their hearts as much as a car, yet they survive by eating a diet rich in tiny plankton.
