15 Abnormally Large Animals That Actually Exist

some animals are cute petite and dainty but if you've read the title of this video you should know that those animals are officially banned from appearing in this list some of the creatures you're about to witness are such gargantuan lumps of muscle that we could barely even fit them on the screen these are abnormally large animals that actually exist number 15 enormous cow with a name like knickers you'd have to wonder if this cow's owner doesn't like him fortunately it's not his name he's known for more his size standing 6 feet 4 inches tall and weighing a whopping 1 400 kilograms knickers is an absolute monster of a steer cows aren't always considered the most interesting animal in the world but regardless they do provide some of life's necessities like milk and meat for starters apparently they also make great companions knickers owner jeff pearson says knickers is the talk of the town and the internet too it seems with headlines all over the world pearson was inundated with inquiries about the cow with most keen to see what all the fuss was about he and knickers are based in perth australia a country known for its obsession with giant objects and buildings home to the big watermelon the big banana the big prawn and the big potato it should come as no surprise that knickers the big steer would be added to those accolades pearson believes his cow's size and celebrity status is merely a novelty but i doubt it'll be wearing off anytime soon like this video smash the subscribe button and click the notification bell right now or slenderman will come from under your bed while you're sleeping now it's time for the odd topic this absolute beast of a horsey is one of the largest draft horses on the planet more specifically known as the dutch draft they are a dutch breed of horse that can reach truly massive sizes so it's fortunate that they're known to have a nice calm temperament or else they could probably kick the absolute gubbins out of everyone and take over the planet given their muscle they are often used for draft work the horse in the photo is one of the largest currently alive weighing almost 800 kilograms crikey maybe one heck of a ride as always comment down below with the hashtag oddtopic and let us know your opinion in relation to what we just showed on screen let's move on to the next one number 14 big jake world's tallest horse there's a horse that goes by the name of big jake not surprisingly he was given the title due to his size having the guinness world record for the tallest horse is just awesome the belgian gelding horse has wowed the world and gained much fame due to his incredible and rather baffling height without shoes he stands six feet and six inches high he was measured in january 2010 when he officially became the tallest living horse as of 2018 the prestigious title was still his achieving a guinness world record is bound to get you some attention regardless of what you achieved and big jake got the full treatment thousands of people flocked to smoky hollow farm in poinet wisconsin to get up close and personal with the noble steed his owner jerry gilbert said life for big jake has been pretty busy since his size put him in the record books but he takes it all in his stride gilbert says people are quite shocked as to just how big he is and for those that can't make the pilgrimage to see him in his natural habitat they can check him out on the internet the video published about big jake during the rise of his popularity on the guinness world records youtube channel racked up well over 4 million views after it was uploaded in 2012. now that's impressive number 13 liger imagine being labeled as the largest living cat on the planet you'd really feel like the king of the jungle hercules is that cat this is our big friend apollo and he is a liger he lives at the myrtle beach safari in south carolina usa he is an adult male liger which is a hybrid of the lion and tigress his total length is 3.33 meters and he weighs 418 kilos he eats nearly 14 kilos of meat each day which is equivalent to the weight of an average two-year-old hercules has a brother named sinbad who is slightly taller but not quite as heavy he also has four nephews who were born in 2014 their names are yeti odin samson and apollo they are some of the first white ligers ever born yeti is the largest of the four but it's yet to be established if he'll live up to the size of his namesake i would say it's pretty doubtful wouldn't you the liger itself is a very distinct cat often noted for its lion-like face and striped body these stripes can range from dark to light depending on the liger's breeding these big cats like most tigers like nothing better than a swim they are also very social and calm much like lions living in captivity number 12 lurch world's biggest horn i gotta admit i feel a little sorry for this guy he might look impressive but i can't imagine how difficult it must be navigating through trees on a daily basis with headgear like this guy the steer named lurch is gonna make an appearance in the record books for many years to come after recording possibly the biggest set of horns on a steer ever [Music] lurch's owner janice wolf feels that the size of the horns and the unorthodox appearance more than earns him a spot in the guinness world records and i tend to agree he deserves an award just for keeping his head up those horns must be heavy wolf had the seven-year-old steer officially measured by two veterinarians the humongous horns stretch seven feet long from tip to tip and weigh about 100 pounds each lurch is an ancolotusi steer from a breed described as the cattle of kings they are known for their revered status among african tribes watusi cattle are also recognized by their huge hordes but lurches are next level don't you think number 11 biggest worm in the world i don't know about you but i'm not a fan of worms snakes or for that matter anything wrigley so this character would have me squirming the eureka's unisynctus also known as the fat innkeeper worm is a species of the marine spoon worm located in bohai gulf in china and in some cases off the coasts of japan and korea their bodies can measure up to 30 centimeters in length a size almost unheard of in most worm related species they are cylindrical and have a rather unpleasant yellow and brown color combo like many worms they are detritivores and live and burrow in sand and mud in korea these worms are consumed yuck they're usually eaten raw with salt and sesame oil fried with vegetables or otherwise dried and powdered they can also be eaten and distributed in japan and locations in and around the pacific coast if not consumed you might find them a handy addition to the fishing tackle box they're apparently great bait for catching flounder and sea bream that's a better idea isn't it number 10 world's biggest hamster hamsters are very small and lovable pets to have as a child and the best part is they don't usually grow any bigger than the size of an adult's hand look up there lincoln well at least that's what we thought this massive hamster-like animal is a capybara it is the largest living rodent on the planet and native to south america many people have mistaken them for large hamsters and have them in the back garden as household pets unfortunately they may be under the wrong impression if your friend owns a capybara maybe you should let them know melanie tippledass a resident from buda texas encountered one for the first time during a stay in venezuela her daughter absolutely loved it the second she got to touch one and hold it in her arms in fact as soon as they returned home melanie was instructed to find one that they could adopt as a family pet she found kaplan roose on a rare animal farm in texas at the time he was only 11 days old so needless to say he has grown a lot since then according to melanie kaplan roose enjoys nothing better than a warm bath or taking a swim in the pool he's not alone there am i right number nine hulk the pitbull hulk the pitbull weighs in at a massive 173 pounds at only 17 months old but that's not the crazy part because he's still young he's likely to get even bigger pit bulls and other snub-nosed dog breeds have strong jaws and are often thought of as being dangerous and unpredictable fortunately hulk is an american pit bull terrier that has a pretty good temperament in fact he'll make your heart melt when you see him interacting with his human and canine family and he's the youngest you know by far and he's the prettiest by far his personality would have the doubters quickly changing their minds about the breed hulk is unique in the fact that although he's not your average small and fluffy doggy companion he's still really sweet and would make an excellent companion he's also the biggest pitbull that the world has ever seen and in time could be even bigger than anyone could ever imagine hulk is a big softy compared to other pitbulls and although his size tends to invoke intimidation from strangers his owner describes him as calm and safe around children marlon granon who runs dark dynasty k9 owns hulk and says he is a great dog but his excessive size may shorten his lifespan we hope that's not the case number eight largest rabbit in the world darius is easily the largest rabbit in the world standing over four feet tall he also weighs a sizable 22.2 kilos unfortunately he may not hold the coveted title for too much longer as he is fully grown and his son jeff is catching up on him coco puff doesn't have a cage he hops around the family home he measures three feet eight inches and still has some growing to do their owner annette edwards may one day have two of the largest rabbits on the planet now that's impressive these boys are members of the continental giant breed which were initially farmed or hunted for meat alone darius and jeff however have shown that they are very capable intelligent and loving house pets they sleep in large crates or kennels designed for dogs instead of the usual rabbit hutches and eat their way through 2 000 carrots and 700 apples over the course of a year the giant bunnies also chomp through a hay bale on a weekly basis leaving edwards with a hefty 5 000 pound annual food bill all the negatives aside if you've ever dreamed about having a german shepherd-sized bunny as a pet they come highly recommended edward says that they're very smart and well-behaved and although huge they're the best animal friends anyone could ask for number seven world's tallest dog zeus is the name that was given to quite possibly the tallest dog to ever exist he was a great dane who was 1.118 meters or 44 inches tall when measured in october 2011. i wanted a big name for a big dog we knew that he would be large this prized canine was owned by denise dorlag and her family in otsigo michigan zeus wasn't just tall either he packed plenty of meat on his bones weighing up to 70 kilograms and it's no wonder considering his appetite the great dane chewed through over 13 kilos of food every two weeks his name proved to be one of the deciding factors when dorlag and her husband decided to purchase zeus her husband wanted something small and cute but she wanted a dog that was gonna be big zeus won the battle and clearly lived up to his name now standing on his hind legs he can reach 2.23 meters so dorlag has no regrets on her choice surprisingly just like many other large animals zeus was pretty calm and laid back considering his size his relationships with humans were really positive and he responded and behaved well around other animals zeus was so tall in fact that he was able to drink water from the tap of the sink in his home meaning that his owners barely had to leave anything out for him sadly zeus died in september 2014 just three years after his record induction to the hall of fame he was just five years of age but the legacy he left behind will live on number six the biggest spider on the planet if you're an arachnophobe it might pay to look away now because things are about to get hairy eight-legged and majorly spine tingly opinions are often divided when it comes to spiders some consider them rather unpleasant and unnerving looking while others prefer to think about their many benefits yes for those of you who don't care for them they're actually quite helpful when it comes to eliminating flies and other annoying insects whilst there are definitely those who find these eight-legged crawlers beneficial others consider them demons of dude a frightening oversized insect to be avoided at all costs but if you made it this far you'd best hang on to your hat because the worst is yet to come this spider is the biggest on the planet if you're a scaredy cat here's your opportunity to tune out the desert a wolf spider is native to the island of madera portugal it is also easily one of the largest types of wolf spider with a body that can reach lengths of up to 1.6 inches these spiders are identified by the white polka dots that are visible on their legs in fact they almost look like socks not that you'd be stopping to assess them i bet the spider gets the name wolf because of its fierce and active hunting style these giant characters prefer to pounce on their prey rather than capturing it in a web that's an interesting technique don't you think number five biggest cat in the world the main is believed to be the largest of the domestic cat breeds considering their size it's quite surprising that they don't have an ancestral relationship or connection to wild cats at least not recently anyway these cats tend to be friendly and pretty chilled out according to their owners as their name indicates these domesticated kitties originate from maine females can weigh up to 15 pounds and males anywhere between 15 to 25 pounds maine coons are also very long and tall and don't reach their peak size until they're about 3 years old in fact some have been found to still be growing at 5. their size is further enhanced by their long shaggy coat these can measure 2 to 3 inches deep and are only outclassed by their huge bushy tail cats are big there's no denying it but they're also beautiful boasting smooth colorful fur these gorgeous big cats are typically more of a friend than a lap cat they're also a lot of fun with many owners saying that they never grow out of their kitten qualities i'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing what about you number four goliath frog biggest frog in the world the goliath frog wasn't given its name so it would feel empowered it genuinely is the largest frog in the world it grows up to 12.5 inches long and can weigh up to 7.2 pounds in fact the frog has reached sizes like that of many household cats that's one big frog according to guinness the largest frog in the world it's quite surprising given the goliath starts out life as a tiny tadpole the same size as your average everyday stock standard frog tadpole there's one key difference between the two and it's quite an obvious one really unlike its cousin the goliath just keeps growing it has the same appearance as an ordinary frog but just keeps getting bigger essentially it's just a giant version of a character we've known for years these frogs have lived several years longer than humans yet we still barely know anything about them we still have no idea how long they've lived how much longer they'll live for and what other species or versions of the goliath exist scientists are hoping to learn more about their general behavior and their habitats it is hoped that with this information these special frogs can be saved from extinction number three the japanese spider crab apologies once more arachnophobes although this one is arguably a bit tamer than the last spider-filled tail the japanese spider crab is a species of marine crab that lives in the waters around japan [Music] the crab has the largest leg span of any existing arthropod reaching up to 12 feet from claw to claw their bodies grow to a width of 16 inches and they can weigh up to and beyond 19 kilos its size definitely sets this crab apart from other species and so too does its color and appearance the japanese spider crab is orange and has white spots on its legs not unlike the desert a wolf spider we heard about earlier these crabs also display an unusually calm demeanor around humans despite their rather threatening appearance they live at depths of between 500 and 1000 feet and can survive in water temperatures of just 10 degrees celsius the japanese spider crab is also a delicacy in some countries although efforts are being made to preserve and protect them to prevent extinction and overfishing number two medusa the biggest snake medusa is a rather fitting name for a snake that held a record in the guinness world records for being the biggest snake in the world when i got medusa she was about 26 28 inches long about as big around as my index finger the reticulated python spends her days at the kansas city's edge of hell and beast haunted houses the perfect spot for a snake of this size as a show snake she is expected to perform under pressure she tires easily but her owners take great care of her medusa is given a lot of food and she also enjoys a calming swim in the pool to help aid her recovery in 2011 she was measured at 25 feet and 2 inches breaking the record for the biggest snake in the world she also weighs an impressive 350 pounds this statistic is pretty impressive given that most snakes of medusa's species grow to a maximum of 20 feet long in the wild her weight is said to fluctuate depending on what she is eating and how long she's gone without a meal no real surprises there number one world's biggest crocodile ever measured in captivity as lake placid has taught us crocodiles are pretty large reptiles that can reach insane sizes although the croc in this entry isn't quite the mammoth size of the croc that terrorizes everybody in the 1999 horror thriller the internet can't always be trusted either with images able to be easily manipulated animals can be made to look bigger or smaller depending on your chosen audience videos too are difficult to gauge so how big was the biggest croc in captivity utahn is a hybrid of saltwater and siamese crocs he was born in 1964 and was discovered at the samut prakan crocodile farm just outside bangkok thailand he was named after the farm owner's son and is believed to have a bite force of about 5 000 pounds of pressure per square inch that's more than two tons the huge crock is 5.5 meters long and currently resides in alligator adventure a reptilian facility that is adjacent to barefoot landing in north myrtle beach one of south carolina's most outstanding tourist attractions these are some animals and insects for that matter that are simply massive they're certainly not the type that can be easily ignored in fact many require special housing to accommodate them and special diets like the giant rabbits who can't live in just any old hutch or the great dane who chows down on 13 kilos of food every two weeks these guys would take some serious commitment also check out our other cool stuff showing up on screen right now see you
