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!
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.
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.
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.
The Largest Bird in the World
While ironically they can't fly, this doesn't stop the ostrich from having the official title of being the biggest bird on the planet. This colossal winged creature can usually weigh up to 287 pounds and more of than not, will grow up to 9 feet. And that's not all. Ostriches also have a wingspan of up to 7 feet.
While they can't use them for flying, ostriches will use their wings to navigate through their 43-mile-per-hour runs. In this photo, was can see a pair of Ostriches taking care of their young chicks in a nature reserve park in the Middle East.
