Here's Some Of God's Amazing Giants. Enjoy! :)
African Giant Snail
Africa does things big and this snail is no exception. Found in parts of
East Africa, it can reach up to 8 inches in length.
Cane Toad
Originally found in South and Central America the cane toad is considered a
nuisance to Australia's natural wildlife and has few predators because of
its toxic skin.
Giant Weta Cricket
Found only (thankfully) on a small island off the coast of New Zealand, this
cricket is large enough to devour a carrot.
Huge Rat Killed in Foot Locker Store
This incredibly large rat was killed in a Bronx, NY Foot Locker back in
January of 2012. Let's hope this employee got some kind of bonus for
taking on the beast.
Giant Freshwater Stingray
These monsters can grow up to 1,300 lbs and are considered endangered
in many of their Asian waterways.
Coconut Crabs
Not what you want to see when taking out the trash, coconut crabs have claws
powerful enough to crack coconut shells. Needless to say, they're not to be
trifled with.
Giant Huntsman Spider
This bird eating spider was discovered in Laos back in 2001 it spends much
of its time in dark jungle caves.
African Goliath Frog
Located it Cameroon, it lives up to 15 years and eats everything from birds
and snakes to other frogs.

Bacon for months!
The Big Pig
This Big Pig, as he was most aptly named, weighed in at 1984 lbs. He was reported
to be 8.2 ft. long and had a waistline of 7.3 ft. What a bowling ball.
Nomura's Jellyfish
Found in the waters off Japan, these gargantuan jellies can grow to be 6.6 feet in
diameter and can weigh up to 440 lbs.
Macroptychaster Sea Stars
These giant starfish were found by scientists in Antarctic waters back in 2008.
Mekong Catfish

fish sticks to feed an entire school cafeteria.

Hercules beetle and can grow up to 6.5 inches.
Giant George the Great Dane
With a spot in the Guinness World Records George weights 245 lbs and consumes
over 110 lbs of dog kibble a month.
Gibson
At 7 feet tall and around 170 pounds, Gibson the Great Dane, is the tallest dog
in the world. There's nothing like a comparison photo to put things into
perspective.
Trigger the Cow
This cow is 6.5 feet tall, 14 feet long and over 1 ton. It's estimated he could
produce 7,665 Big Macs.
Big Cow Chilli
Big Cow Chilli, also known as the gentle giant, is a 6-foot 6-inch bovine that
weighs well over a ton. Regardless of his giant stature, Chili is a sweet natured
boy who just wants to be a lap-cow.
Field Marshall
Weighing more than 3500 lbs., this 6'5" gentle giant holds the title for largest
bull in the world.
Big Jake
Big Jake is an immensely tall horse, standing at an impressive height of 6'9"
and and weighing in at 2,600 pounds. You might need a ladder to mount him, but
I bet the view from up there is sure worth it.
Hercules Moth
One of the largest moths in the world. This moth has a measured wingspan of 27cm
which is approximately 10 inches wide.
Hercules The Cat
Commonly mistaken for a tiger or lion, this unique cat known as the hybrid Liger is
the world's largest cat, weighing in around 900 pounds. For many years, this hybrid
creature was thought to have been a myth after the popularization of the hybrid by
the movie, 'Napoleon Dynamite.' The Liger has actually been in existence since at
least the 19th century.
Oar Fish
A terribly giant oarfish washed up onto a shore populated with beach goers. This fish
was so long that it had to be carried by 10 people at one time to hold it. You do
not want an underwater rendezvous with a creature like this.
