44 Animals That Are Weird Sizes - Pixel Animation

Explore the bizarre world of animal size with 44 animals--living and extinct--who come in the most extreme forms. Our countdown begins with the tiniest animal the human eye can see, a parasitic wasp with no eyes or mouth that lives for just a few hours. Uncover the world’s smallest snake, the Barbados threadsnake, who looks like a worm and can barely open its mouth. Our journey continues through the world’s largest crab, the Japanese spider crab, with a massive leg span of three meters; the extinct millipede Arthropleura, who was the length of a small car; the largest flying animal of all time, Quetzalcoatlus, whose wingspan rivaled that of a Cessna airplane; the largest bipedal mammal of all time, the giant sloth, who towered over our human ancestors at 3.5 meters; heart-pounding Titanoboa, the 13-meter long snake who dominated the world’s first rainforest after the extinction of the dinosaurs; Gigantopithecus, who co-existed alongside archaic humans and was the largest hominid of all time at 3 meters tall; and many more. Unpack the strange and fascinating science of animal size as we uncover 44 of the most extreme animals to have ever evolved on earth.
