Lapdog
This gentle beast is part American wolfdog and part Malamute, and by the looks of it, his massive size definitely comes from the Malamute part… It also looks like he’s super cuddly. To be honest, it looks like a stuffed toy that also doubles are a snuggly blanket.
We imagine this guy is extremely comfortable right now, especially as this photo was taken in the middle of the winter. This big boy should be free to roam the open fields, but instead, he prefers to sit super close to his person, paying no mind to his ginormous size. Sometimes, you just have to accept the love.
The Biggest Atlas Beetle
The gorilla of the insect world, the Atlas beetle is one sizeable bug. Belonging to the rhinoceros beetle species which is already a king in the beetle world can measure up to 5.1 inches (13 centimeters.) Aptly named after the Titan that was doomed to hold up the earth for eternity, this critter can certainly carry its load too.
They're also notoriously vicious and have been known to fight to the death as early as the larvae stage if there is not enough of space or food. These beetles can be found in Southern Asia, particularly Indonesia. Ironically, we wonder if these beetles like to climb any mountains from time to time.
The Largest Insect in the World
Up until the year 2016, the largest insect in the world was the stick insect named a Phobaeticus Chani. The specimen which is currently being held in the Natural History Museum measures 56.7 centimeters (22.3 in). That's when the legs are fully extended. The body alone however still measures an awesome 357 mm (14.1 in).
But there's a new sheriff in town and the longest bug is officially the Phryganistria Chinensis Zhao, a new species of stick insect. The new species named after the Zhao Li of the Insect Museum of West China has been researched for years. At the museum, it laid 6 eggs. The offspring after hatching measured 26 centimeters.
Another Lap Dog
There sure seems to be a pattern developing here when it comes to massive dogs who like to sit on laps. This dog, however, seems to never have outgrown that love! Some might even think he's the world's biggest husky!
His human companion's head pops up from behind him; it would be scary how big his dog is if it wasn't so comical. We wouldn't be surprised if we saw a headline one day about the dog who just would not stop growing. He ended up being bigger than the Empire State Building and still chose to sit on his owner's lap!
A Rare Giant Squid
Look, we understand that the biggest the fish you catch, the more impressive it is - but this is taking things way too far in our humblest opinion. This photo was taken in the Ross Sea, Antarctica. A fishing long-line boat known as San Aspiring came across the world's first intact adult male Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni - otherwise known as a colossal squid.
This enormous creature weighs a world record 450 kilos and is about 10 meters long. What's more, is that the next biggest creature ever found was 150 kilos lighter! At the time of its discovery, the squid was feasting on a hooked toothfish.
