The Largest Insect in the World


  A giant Weta, found in the Little Barrier Island in New Zealand island, is thought to be the largest insect in the world to have been found to date. This gigantic insect weighs 71 grams – that’s heavier than three mice and even some bird species like the sparrow. It was found be adventurer Mark Moffett of Colorado, USA up in a tree after two days of searching.

  Weta is the name given to about 70 insect species that can only be found in New Zealand. It’s body is similar to a cricket. The specimen that was found by Mr. Moffett had a wingspan of only seven inches but it’s body is huge in insect standard.

The Largest And Longest Dinosaur


   Discovered in 1877, Amphicoelias Fragillimus is the biggest dinosaur that ever lived and roam the earth. Based on surviving descriptions of a single fossil bone, this gigantic pre-historic creature is believed to be between 40 and 60 meters, and has a weight of up to 122 metric tons. It is also the longest of all the dinosaurs ever discovered.

   Amphicoelias Fragillimus was discovered by Oramel Lucas, a fossil collector, in 1877. He discovered a partial vertebra – the neural arch and spine – in Garden Park, north of Cañon City, Colorado. The vertebra was in poor condition. Hence the name fragillimus, a Latin word meaning “very fragile”, which refers to the delicateness of the bone produced by very thin laminae (vertebral walls). The specimen was very huge. It measured 1.5 meters in width and 2.7 meters in height.

The Largest Animal in the World


The blue whale is considered the largest animal in the world. At 30 meters (98 ft) in length and 180 metric tons (200 short tons) or more in weight. Long and slender, the blue whale's body can be various shades of bluish-grey dorsally and somewhat lighter underneath. As with other baleen whales, its diet consists almost exclusively of small crustaceans known as krill. Blue whales can dive for up to an hour, going to a depth of 350 feet (105 m) and have a life expectancy of 35-40 years.

The World's Largest and Heaviest Plane



  This is Antonov An-225 Mriya, one the biggest flying object that man have ever build. The AN-225 has 32 wheels and the wings span 291 feet wide (88.4 meters to be precisely). The Payload is 250,000 kg and it can carry up to 640,000 kg weight while the aircraft flying. It has max speed 850 km/hour and it can airlift Buran space shuttle/ Energia rocket’s boosters easily on the back.

    The giant aircraft is part of Soviet space program and it was first flown in 21 December 1988. As size comparison, The Antonov An-225 is larger than any American aircraft/Boeing product such as Airbus A380, Boeing 747 Large Cargo Freighter, and Lockheed C-5 Galaxy.
The maximum gross weight of the plane is 640 tonnes and so far only 1 active AN-225 available in the planet. Because of the unique ability to airlift huge size materials and supplies, the aircraft was often employed by other country such as Canadian and US government to transport large military supplies to their armies in Middle East. In 2004, Antonov AN-225 earned Guinness Book of Record award because of its 240 active roles in International issues. This award was referred by FAI/ Federation Aeronautique Internationale

The World's Largest Desert


he Sahara (Arabic: الصحراء الكبرىAṣ Ṣaḥrā´ al Kubrā, English: The Great Desert) is the world's second largest desert, after Antarctica. At over 9,400,000 square kilometres (3,630,000 sq mi), it covers most of Northern Africa, making it almost as large as Europe or the United States. The Sahara stretches from the Red Sea, including parts of the Mediterranean coasts, to the outskirts of the Atlantic Ocean. To the south, it is delimited by the Sahel, a belt of semi-arid tropical savanna that composes the northern region of central and western Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Largest Forest in the World





The Amazon Rainforest (in Portuguese, Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish Selva Amazónica, Amazonía or usually Amazonia), also known in English as Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses seven million square kilometers (1.7 billion acres), of which five and a half million square kilometers (1.4 billion acres) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, and with minor amounts in Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and France (French Guiana). States or departments in four nations bear the name Amazonas after it. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and it comprises the largest and most species-rich tract of tropical rainforest in the world.
