The Polar Bear and Kodiak Bear.
  • The largest living land carnivores are the Polar
    Bear and the kodiak bear, a Brown Bear
    subspecies. Since they have similar body sizes,
    it is not clear which is definitively larger. In
    both species, shoulder height has been measured
    at more than 1.6 m and total length at as much as
    to 3.05 m .The heaviest polar and brown bear
    weights recorded were respectively 1,003 kg and
    1,135 kg.

The African Bush Elephant
  • The African Bush Elephant is the largest living
    terrestrial animal, with males reaching 6 to 7.5
    meters in length, 3.3 meters in height at the
    shoulder, and weighing 6 t .Females are much
    smaller, reaching 5.4 to 6.9 meters in length
    2.7 meters in height at the shoulder, and
    weighing 3 t . The adult African bush elephant
    generally has no natural predators due to its
    great size, but the calves (especially the
    newborn) are vulnerable to lion and crocodile
    attacks, and to leopard and hyena attacks.

4
The Giraffe.
  • The giraffe is an African even-toed ungulate
    mammal and the tallest living terrestrial animal
    in the world. It stands 56 m tall and has an
    average weight of 1,600 kg (3,500 lb) for males
    and 830 kg for females. The giraffe has an
    extremely elongated neck, which can be over 2 m
    in length, accounting for nearly half of the
    animals vertical height. The long neck results
    from a disproportionate lengthening of the
    cervical vertebrae, not from the addition of more
    vertebrae.

5
The Japanese Spider Crab
These Crabs have large and long nightmarish legs
and they resemble spiders. They are 4 meters tall
and weigh almost 20 kilograms. Despite their
ferocious appearances, they have quite a gentle
disposition. Make no mistake though their claws
could slice you pretty bad.
6
The Giant Stingray.
These are one of the largest fresh water fishes
in the world! It can grow up to 1.9 meters in
length and weigh around 600 kilograms. These
stingrays are heavily fished because of their
meat and aquarium display. Because of this, there
has been a drastic decline in their number.
7
The Saltwater Crocodile
  • The saltwater crocodile is the largest of all
    living reptiles. It is found in suitable habitats
    from Northern Australia through Southeast Asia to
    the eastern coast of India. An adult male
    saltwater crocodiles weight is 409 to 1,000
    kilograms and length is normally 4.1 to 5.5
    metres .
