This giant rat was killed in a NY Foot Locker store in the Bronx in new. There are many who claim it to be a fake, but according to many well-reputed websites, its very possible that its a Gambian Pouched Rat and that this is not the first time rats of this size have been spotted in NYC.\r

6 - Life is better with a dog… \r
Its easy to see how Gibson won the title for the Worlds Biggest Dog in 2004, because he was 42.2 inches tall. He was a therapy dog and appeared on several television shows. He only lived for 5 years, and sadly lost his fight against cancer. \r
\r

\r
4 - Happy Australia Day… \r
Lets celebrate kangaroos, desert, beer, cricket and really big animals! This saltwater crocodile was captured on film and is thought to be around 18-feet in length. Think Ill steer away from the waters and go grab a vegemite sandwich. \r
\r
3 - Moose Ahead… \r
No idea where this image was captured, but this must be one of the biggest moose out there! They are the largest member of the deer family, and can weigh up to 1200 pounds. In the summer they can devour 73 pounds of food a day, and although theyre massive – theyre no match to a bear or a pack of wolves. \r
\r
2 - Looks can be deceiving… \r
This is a red Tibetan Mastiff, and apparently they can cost over a million dollars for one. In f, one was bought for 1.5 million, making it the most expensive dog sale in the world. Bearing that in mind, how bizarre is it – that a zoo in China was trying to pass one of these dogs off as a Lion, in the lion enclosure. With that kind of money, why didnt they just buy a few lions? This one is particularly impressive, with its gigantic size! \r
\r
1 - Good enough to eat… \r
The Giant African Land Snail is very impressive. They have noted that some shells have grown as large as 7 inches, and they can live for up to 10 years in the ideal living conditions.

So if you thought your small snails were a problem, be glad you dont have these in your garden!
