So what does large mean? Well if you search its definition up in a dictionary, it means something extent (greater than normal size). In this essay we will discuss about the largest things in the world currently and in the past. Because this essay is extremely long we will only give 2 ranks.
Animals
So the largest animal; lets first talk about modern day animals. Here are the top five in our rankings:
Ostrich : This is my favorite bird. Although the ostrich can't fly, it can run really fast about 75 mph ( miles per hour). It's height ranges between 1.7-- 2.8m tall, weighs about 63--140kg (Adult).
Saltwater crocodile : The largest crocodile in the world is 6m long and weighs about 1--1.5 tons. Deadly crocodile!
Giraffa tippelskirchi or the Masai giraffe : This is the tallest animal in the world and it roams about int he grasslands located in geographic regions. It is 8ft (5.5m) tall and weighs 907kg--1360kg. Heavy!
African Bush Elephant: The largest land animal. Males weigh about 5.2 tones and 13 feet (3.96m) tall.
Blue whale : The largest mammal and animal alive. Its tongue itself weighs equally as an adult elephant! So considering this we can assume this marine creature would be 29.9m long-- 130,000 to 150,000kg and is 13 to 16 feet tall.
Now the past:
Titanosaurus: largest land animal, this enormous dinosaur and reach unimaginable heights of 65 feet(20m) tall. Its weighs an astounding 70 metric tones
