Ostrich

An ostrich is officially the largest bird in the world. It weighs around 230 pounds and grows to 7 feet tall on average, while some can grow to up to 9 feet. Ostriches are fast so don’t get in a situation where they can chase you. In fact, they are the fastest two-legged creatures in the world.

Emu

An emu is basically a smaller ostrich and the second largest bird in the world. Emus are usually 5 to 6-feet tall. They hatch eggs that are so big and they are dark green – they resemble giant avocados.

Dalmatian Pelican

The Dalmatian Pelican lives in Europe and Asia and it looks pretty impressive. They get around 6 feet tall and weighs 33 lb, with an impressive wingspan of 9 feet. These birds live in colonies that can have up to 250 pairs and their ability to fit a lot of fish in their mouth is impressive.

Fastest Animals

The fastest land animal is a cheetah at 75 miles per hour max speed, but there are some faster species in the big blue ocean. Black marlin, the fastest fish, can swim at around 80 miles per hour. That’s still not all – though it can’t be directly compared, there’s a bird that’s faster than both of them and it’s peregrine falcon which can fly as fast as 242 miles per hour.

Largest Animals

Things are much more clear in this department. 85 feet long, 210 tons heavy (on average) blue whale is the largest animal in the world.

Loudest Animals

While the blue whale can produce sounds louder than a jet engine, there’s an even louder animal. It’s the tiger pistol shrimp with claws that can produce sounds at a decibel level of 200.

Longest Lifespans

The ocean quahog clam named Ming, who died in 2006, was estimated to be 507 years old and holds the record for the longest lifespan.
