Giant Sunfish In 2019, in California, a man was walking along the beach when he found himself looking at a 7-foot (2.1m) long sunfish. While that in and of itself wasn't too shocking as Sunfish have been known to get rather large in size, what stunned scientists was that this was a new species of Sunfish that were primarily known for living in the Southern Hemisphere. And yet, somehow, it was on a beach in California. 8. Komodo Dragon Lizards are a very common creature in our world, but most of the time you would think of them as only being a few feet (1m) in length at most. But there is a giant in their ranks that you likely know very well, and its name is the Komodo Dragon. Measuring up to 10 feet (3m) in length and over 300 pounds (140kg) in certain cases, the Komodo Dragon without a doubt is the largest living lizard in the world right now. What's more, they're also the most aggressive lizard of the bunch. 7. Giant Isopod The Giant Isopod is a creature that is similar in design to things like Woodlouse. The difference between them though is size. The Giant Isopod can be on average 18 inches long (50cm), if not bigger. The biggest one ever found was about 2.5 feet (85cm). Don't fear finding these things in your backyard though, as you can only find them on the ocean floor. In fact, they've been documented to live in every single ocean in the world. One of only a select set of ocean animals that can do such things. 6. Humongous Fungus In Oregon in the United States, in a place called the Malheur National Forest lives what is technically the largest living organism in the world today. It's not an animal though, rather, it's a fungus called Armillaria ostoyae. If you're curious how this is the largest living organism on Earth, you need to not think about height or width or even length, but rather, the area it covers. Because the roots of this fungus currently covers over 2,385 acres (9.6 sq km) of land within the Malheur National Forest. 5. "Giant Evolving" Antarctic Sea Creatures Antarctica has certain misconceptions about it, one of the biggest being that there is no life there. But that's a lie, because not only is there life on Antarctica's surface, there is plenty of life within its freezing waters, and in places that you wouldn't expect. Researchers have been doing dives in these frozen waters for years now and they've discovered that within certain areas are "giant evolving sea creatures" that have adapted and outgrew anything similar to it. 4. Coconut Crab Crabs are another creature that are common all over the world, but if you're looking for a truly shocking one, that would be the Coconut Crab. As this is a crab that is all about pure mass and power and it's frightening in all that it can do. I say this because the Coconut Crab is 3 feet long (1m) from leg to leg, making it the largest land-living arthropod in the world today. 3. The Bootlace Worm The Bootlace Worm is a type of "ribbon worm", and it is by and large one of the longest creatures in the world today. Why? Mainly because there are unconfirmed lengths of this worm reaching up to 180 feet (54m)! The ones that have been confirmed range anywhere from 98 feet (30m) to 150 feet (45m) and some even speculate that they could grow to even greater lengths! But why is there such a variance in the worm sizes? 2. Giant Pyrosome The Giant Pyrosome is known as the "unicorn of the sea", because while it is known to exist, there have not been many who have gotten to see it up close, let alone take photos and videos of it. To those who don't know what Pyrosomes are, they are free-floating collections of tiny organisms combined into one creature. They usually live in the upper layers of the open ocean in warm seas, especially the Indian Ocean. Pyrosomes are cylindrical or cone-shaped colonies up to 60 ft (18 m) long, made up of hundreds to thousands of individuals, known as zooids. 1. Colossal Giant Squids When it comes to squids and octopuses, they are the stuff of legends, and for good reason. They were undiscovered until they washed up onto the shores of the world and left many to wonder what else is out there in the waters. And of course, they inspired the legends of the Kraken. The two species live in various parts of the ocean, including near Antarctica, and in the major oceans where sailors are known to have passed through. They even live in the depths of the Mariana Trench, showing their survivability in nearly all waters.
