Unexpectedly Large Animals

Double Sized Gators

The alligator you see doubles the size of an ordinary man. Commonly, an American Alligator is about 11 feet. For the comparison, average height of a person is five feet and ten inches in America. So, it is five feet ten inches versus eleven feet two inches. Way to go gator!

He is the villain in Peter Pan’s story, sorry if this is a spoiler for you but he is missing one hand and why is that? A saltwater crocodile! It could be useful to note that the crocodile was depicted as having the same height as a clock tower in Peter’s story. Ordinarily they are fourteen feet eight inches long and they can weight as heavy as 2,200 pounds.

Bush Elephant of African

African Bush Elephant is about eighteen feet, if three man in ordinary height climb on one another, this elephant will still be taller. This animal is the biggest creature that wanders about our planet. For the comparison, normally a human can only reach the top of the elephant’s tusk at the eye-level. If it was possible to put a Bush Elephant on a scale, two hundred football players would have been necessary for the balance as the elephant is about ten tons.
