Unbelievable Photos That Reveal Hidden Worlds and Mind-Blowing Sizes You’ve Never Seen Before
Ever stop to wonder just how wild our world really is? I mean, sure, you know an elephant’s big—everyone does—but have you ever thought about how it stacks up next to your own height? Or what it’s like trying to walk across a thin rock ledge with feet that weren’t built for tightrope acts? Earth isn’t just a planet; it’s this insane collage of freakishly huge, oddly tiny, and utterly mind-blowing creatures and things that make you scratch your head in disbelief. From caterpillars that look like they wandered out of a Pokémon episode to the sheer monster size difference between a Game of Thrones star and his wife, this place is packed with jaw-dropping comparisons you never thought you needed to see until now. So, buckle up and get ready to size up some of nature’s and humanity’s downright outrageous oddities—you’re in for one heck of a ride. LEARN MORE.
Earth is a crazy place, full of strange and wonderful creatures and habitats that we don’t really know the magnitude of until we compare it next to “the norm”. You might know what an elephant is, maybe even their size, but what does that mean in comparison to a person’s height? Or think about the width of a skinny rock ledge in relation to human feet.
Take a minute to size up some of these crazy comparisons.
You Caught a Pokemon
We’re fairly certain this hickory horned devil is really the Pokemon Caterpie. How is it possible for a caterpillar to grow up to 5-inches long? I would hate to see one of those crawling up a tree during the summer. Good news is that I don’t live in North America’s deep south where this species is considered to be common.
They don’t stay this big forever, and at the end of their caterpillar stage, these big boys transform into regal moths
The Mountain and His Lady
Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson, or The Mountain from Game of Thrones, is a professional strongman. Hitting an impressive 6-feet 9-inches and weighing an incredible 440 pounds, this beast of a human shrinks anyone who stands next to him. That includes his wife, Kelsey Henson and the random guy walking behind them in this photo (even if he is a few feet in the background).
Hopefully, Björnsson learned early on how to hug his other half without crushing her!
That’s a whole lot of nope
Imagine a peaceful day. You’re out fishing with a buddy and drinking a few beers. Then THAT swims up next to, what you thought was a decently sized boat. You’re not rocking beer goggles, a Blue Whale three-times the size of the little vessel is right next to you.
A fully grown male can grow up to 29.9-meters long and weigh up to 330,000 pounds. These marine mammals are the largest known species on record. Long story short, everyone stays on the boat!
Coconut Crabs vs. Doggo
Also known as the robber crab or palm thief, these crabs, funnily enough, are a species of the terrestrial hermit crab. Ironic considering hermit crabs can fit in the palm of your hand. Coconut crabs, on the other hand, weight up to 9 pounds and can grow to be a little over three feet from leg to leg. That’s as big as your math teacher’s yardstick!
The good news is that these creatures are sparse in heavily human-populated areas.
A Fox With Wings or Bat?
Bram Stoker called, he’d like his Dracula bat back. Although, if you take the 5-foot wings away, the giant golden-crowned flying fox does resemble a fox more than a bat. They even have the pretty golden-brown fur of a fox, along with a pointed snout and ears.
I guess the scientists who named this species knew what they were doing! Sadly, these flying giants are endangered due to poachers and competition with humans for their main source of food: fruit.
Peter Cottontail Has Been Eating His Wheaties
Who needs a dog when you can have a huge, domesticated Flemish Giant rabbit hopping around the house? Those paws look to be as big as a medium-sized Border Collie! Even though this specific rabbit looks a bit annoyed with the photo-op, these creatures are docile and patient beings that are commonly kept as pets.
At 15-pounds and 4-feet long, they’re a perfect size. Raise your hand if you wouldn’t mind this big boy hopping into your lap for a movie night!
Just a Baby Ghost Crab to Brighten Your Day
It’s so tiny! I don’t want to think about how many of these creatures I’ve stepped on at the beach. Especially considering they’re able to change color to match their environment depending on the time of day.
Ghost crabs are common shore crabs, meaning they like to live and hunt on the sand instead of in the ocean. Although I’m not entirely sure how much food this guy would actually fit into its mouth. Eating probably takes hours!
