There are many different kinds of animals in the world, including small animals, and naturally there are many large animals. Do you know about the largest animals in the world? The following is the relevant information I collected for you.

Top ten largest animals in the world

First, the world's largest animal-the blue whale

Blue whale * * * Scientific name: balaenoptera musculus * * is a marine mammal belonging to the suborder baleen whales. The blue whale is considered to be the largest animal that has ever lived on the earth. It is more than 33 meters long and weighs more than 200 tons. The blue whale has a slender body and a bluish-gray back, but sometimes it looks lighter in water.

At present, there are at least three subspecies of blue whales: B. m. musculus, which lives in the North Atlantic and the North Pacific, B. m. intermedia, which lives in antarctic ocean, and B.M. brevicauda, which lives in the Indian Ocean and the South Pacific * * *, also known as pygmy blue whales * * *. B. m. indica found in the Indian Ocean may be another subspecies. Like other baleen whales, blue whales mainly feed on small crustaceans, such as krill, small fish and sometimes squid.

1may, 959 15, the blue whale is one of the largest mammals in the world. Because blue whales are too big, it is difficult to measure their weight. Up to now, scientists from the National Marine Mammal Laboratory have accurately measured that the largest blue whale is a female whale weighing 177 tons. Scientists warned today that if the worldwide whaling industry is not restricted, blue whales will become extinct.

Second, the world's largest animal-Xia jellyfish

1865, on the coast of Massachusetts, USA, a jellyfish was washed ashore by waves. Its umbrella was 2.28 meters in diameter and its tentacles were 36 meters long. Pull the tentacles of this jellyfish apart, and it is 74 meters long from the tip of one tentacle to the tip of the other.

The largest jellyfish is the Arctic jellyfish distributed in the Atlantic Ocean. Its umbrella cover can reach 2.5 meters in diameter, and there are 8 groups of tentacles at the lower edge of the umbrella cover, each group is about 150. Each tentacle stretches for more than 40 meters, and it can shrink to only one tenth of its original length in one second. There are stinging cells on the tentacles, which can dig out stinging filaments and radiate toxins. When all the tentacles are stretched out, it is like laying a deadly tight encirclement, and the net cover can reach 500 square meters. Once any fierce animal is caught in the net, it will be caught easily.

Although the net of Xia jellyfish is powerful, it can't help but graze small fish. The shepherd fish is no more than 7 cm long and can shuttle freely under the tentacles of the jellyfish, making it an excellent refuge. Grazing fish often lures some small carnivorous fish into the tight encirclement set by their owners, but they cleverly evade the poisonous silk and get under the giant umbrella to escape the attack. At the same time, Xia Jellyfish took the opportunity to fish in the net and had a good meal, while herding fish was rewarded by its owner for luring the enemy and eating some trivial food.

The jellyfish and the herding fish * * * live together for mutual benefit. The jellyfish protects the life safety of the herding fish, while the herding fish helps it lure the enemy and remove microorganisms from its body.

Third, the world's largest pig

The world's largest pig * * * has died, and it has not been recognized by Guinness World Records that * * * came from China. This giant pig is about 2.5 meters long, with a waist circumference of 2.23 meters and a tusk length of 14.4 cm.

Fourth, the world's largest catfish

The world's largest catfish caught in the Mekong River in Thailand is about 2.7 meters long and weighs about 293 kilograms.

6. The largest snake in the world

The world's largest snake The green water python living in tropical South America is also the largest snake in the world. The adult green water python can grow to more than 10 meter. Although its length may be shorter than that of the reticulated python, its super-thick size and amazing weight make it the largest snake in the world.

This snake's eyes grow on its head, so that it can be easily observed when it moves underwater. Adult green pythons can easily entangle and eat a caiman more than one meter long, and there have been records of eating jaguars. Green water pythons are oviparous snakes, and each of their young snakes is 60 cm long. Their huge size, amazing strength and horrible aggressiveness make green water pythons stand at the top of the food chain in the Amazon forest and look down on everything.
