A shark program shows a great white shark swimming past scuba divers in cages. You're in awe because, after all, it's a great white shark! A lean, mean, carnivorous hunting machine! You know it's big, huge even, but not until you see it in comparison to the poor little divers hiding away in their cages can you fully realize the mind-blowing size of this animal. In fact most of us are not really aware of how big some animals truly are. Not a clue! But not to worry, because today (right now) you are about to see animals that are larger than you realize! The fact is animals come in many shapes and sizes. Some people use weight as the determiner for what they consider the biggest animals, so the heaviest are automatically the largest animals in their minds. Others consider the longest animals to be the biggest while others see "the biggest" in terms of height. At the end of the day, whichever way you measure size there’s no denying that some animals are absolutely HUGE. For example, it is considered common knowledge that the blue whale and the African elephant are the two largest animals on the planet (so naturally we had no choice but to include them on the following list). But what does that mean? What does that look like? How does that compare to things we already know are large like a football field, a building, or even a bus! After taking a better look at some of these animals, we think you're going to have a better idea at some of their sized (and the revelation may just shock you). These are 25 Animals That Are Larger Than You Realize.
