Biggest Living Organism
FUNGUS
Armillaria ostoyae

Until August of 2000 it was thought that the largest living organism was a fungus of the same species (Armillaria ostoyae) that covered 1,500 acres (600 hectares) found living in the state of Washington. But then mycology experts surmised that if an Armillaria that large could be found in Washington, then perhaps one just as large could be responsible for the trees dying in the Malheur National Forest in the Blue Mountains of eastern Oregon. Researchers were astonished at the sheer magnitude of the find. This most recent find was estimated to cover over 2,200 acres (890 hectares) and be at least 2,400 years old, possibly older.
To go into the forest where this giant makes its home you would not look at it and see a huge, looming mushroom. Armillaria grows and spreads primarily underground and the sheer bulk of this organism lies in the earth, out of sight. Occasionally, during the fall season, this specimen will send up golden-colored "honey mushrooms" (see photo, above left) that are the visible evidence of its hulking mass beneath. Scientists have not yet begun to attempt to estimate the weight of this specimen of Armillaria.

Biggest Freshwater Fish
GIANT MEKONG CATFISH
Pangasius gigas

This giant catfish caught in May of 2005 was 9 feet long and weighed 646 lbs. This is more than 5 times bigger than the 'world record' catfish caught in North America.
This giant catfish inhabits the waters of the Mekong River in China, which flows southward into Southeast Asia. This fish is found as far south as Cambodia and Thailand where it is known as Pla Buk, which means simply "huge fish".The dimensions of these catfish are very impressive, with the largest supposedly growing up to 10ft/3m and weighing up to 660lbs/300kg.

Scientists have known about the existence of a species of squid that is reported to be significantly larger than the giant squid, but had not seen or collected a complete specimen of the Colossal squid, named Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni. This species of squid was first identified in 1925 after two arms were recovered from a sperm whale's stomach. In 2003 a virtually intact specimen of this never-before-seen squid had been brought up in Antarctic waters from an estimated depth of 2,000 to 2,200 meters. And recently, in February of 2007 a live colossal squid was brought to the surface in Antarctic waters by a New Zealand fishing boat. This time video was taken and the squid was captured for scientific study. This enormous squid, which was determined to be a male of the species, was 10 meters (32.8 feet), and weighed 1,089 pounds, making it the largest squid (the largest invertebrate) ever captured. What was even more astonishing is that, from what scientists know about squid species in general, there is great coïtusual dimorphism in squids, with females being significantly larger than the males. If that holds true for the Colossal squid, this male specimen that was captured could very well be dwarfed by a much larger female of the species

Giant Jellyfish...
ARCTIC LION'S MANE
Cyanea capillata
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

As a species jellies have been around for a very long time. They appeared in the oceans about 650 million years ago, before the dinosaurs. They still populate our oceans today in a profusion of sizes and shapes. Jellyfish are incredible creatures - it's amazing that they are living things. Check it out...their bodies are made up of 95% water, they have no bones or cartilage, no heart or blood, and no brain! (Talk about a real 'no-brainer'). They are one of earth's simpler and more primitive life forms. The picture you see at right is a much smaller specimen of a lion's mane jelly. The world-record holder was found dead, washed up on a beach.
The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is the [Link niet meer beschikbaar] of [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the [Link niet meer beschikbaar], northern [Link niet meer beschikbaar] and northern [Link niet meer beschikbaar], seldom found farther south than 42°N [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. Similar jellyfish (which may be the same species) are known from the seas off [Link niet meer beschikbaar] and [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. The Arctic Lion's mane jellyfish is one of the longest known animals; the largest recorded specimen had a bell (body) with a diameter of 2.3 m (7 feet 6 inches) and the tentacles reached 36.5 m (120 feet). It was found washed up on the shore of [Link niet meer beschikbaar] in 1870. This specimen was longer than a [Link niet meer beschikbaar], which is commonly considered to be the largest animal in the world.

Biggest Mammal ....
BLUE WHALE
Balaenoptera musculus
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

Blue whales diet consists mainly of krill, a tiny shrimp that lives in tremendously large schools in almost every ocean of the world. Krill is probably one of the most plentiful food species (outside of insects) anywhere on earth. It's gotta be to keep up with the blue whales' big appetite. A big blue can eat over a thousand krill at one time swallowing them with a tongue that weighs as much as an elephant! Blue whales eat the krill using a special type of filter on their mouths called a baleen. By gulping enormous amounts of sea water containing the live krill the blue whale closes its mouth and flushes the sea water back out through the filter leaving the krill behind for it to swallow. Small fish and plankton are also favorite food items of the whale. It takes about 8,000 lbs/3600kg of fresh seafood a day to keep the blue whale well fed.
Probably the most spectacular thing about blue whales that's bigger than big is the sounds they make. If you have speakers on your computer you should hear a recording of "blue whale speech" playing in the background. Scientists have measured the low-frequency (deep rumbling) sounds they make when they communicate with each other by using a decibel meter. Some of their vocalizations have been recorded as loud as 188 decibels and can be heard as far as 530 mi/848km away. To give you an idea of just how loud 188 decibels is a commercial jet taking off makes a sound of 120 decibels. That makes whales, by far, the loudest living thing anywhere on earth!
The Blue Whale (Balaenoptera musculus) is a [Link niet meer beschikbaar] belonging to the suborder of [Link niet meer beschikbaar] (called Mysticeti). At up to 32.9 metres (108 feet) in length and 172 metric [Link niet meer beschikbaar] (190 [Link niet meer beschikbaar]) or more in weight, it is the [Link niet meer beschikbaar] ever to have existed.

Largest Carnivore on Land...
POLAR BEAR
Ursus maritimus
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

These guys seriously know how to pose for the camera! Not only are they cool in front of the camera, but they live in the coolest places on the planet - literally. Arctic sea ice, water, islands, and continental coastlines around the arctic circle are home to these massive carnivores. The temperatures where these bears live ranges from an average -29°F/-34°C in winter and 32°F/0°C in summer. The coldest area in winter is northeastern Siberia, where the temperature has been recorded as low as -92°F/-69°C. Not so great for people, but fine if you're a polar bear with an extremely

Polar bears spend a lot of time moving great distances in search of their favorite food - seals. The range of these bears can vary from 20,000 to as many as 135,000 square miles. They hunt for seals through the winter ice that forms over the ocean, where the seals spend most of their time (to get away from the bears). When the ice over the sea melts in summer the polar bears can't hunt for the seals as easily, so they fast all summer long. In order to survive an entire summer without food they eat a LOT of seals in winter building up fat stores untilhalf of their body mass is pure fat. That enormously thick layer of fat also helps to keep them comfortably warm while living in an inhospitably cold environment.

During the summer months when the sea ice melts they will roam as far south as Hudson Bay, where they hang out and "chill" until the sea ice forms again in the fall. The warmest areas in summer are inland regions of Siberia, Alaska, and Canada where temperatures can reach as high as 90°F/32°C, which is pretty comfortable for folks without fur coats (you and me).

The coat of fur on an average polar bear is about 1-2 in./2.5 to 5 cm thick. A dense, wooly, insulating layer of underhair is covered by a relatively thin layer of stiff, shiny, guard hairs. Believe it or not, their fur isn't actually white. If you got up real close to a polar bear and plucked one of his hairs you would see that the polar bear's coat is made of clear, colorless hairs (and you would probably find out how powerful the bear is). The hairs scatter light, making it appear white (or sometimes yellow, depending upon the angle of the sun). If you were to pull out all of the polar bear's hairs (which would really be stupid) you would see black skin underneath all that white fur. In the photo (below, at left) where the bear's fur is thinnest on the snout you can see the black skin beneath.
The polar bear is the largest carnivore that lives on land, being twice as big as the [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. It shares the title of largest predator with the [Link niet meer beschikbaar], an omnivore [Link niet meer beschikbaar] living in Alaska. Adult males weigh 352–680 kg (780–1,500 lb) and measure 2.4–3 m (7.9–9.8 ft) in length. Adult females are roughly half the size of males and normally weigh 150–249 kg (330–550 lb), measuring 1.8–2.4 metres (5.9–7.9 ft) in length. When pregnant, however, they can weigh as much as 499 kg (1,100 lb). The polar bear is among the most [Link niet meer beschikbaar] of mammals, surpassed only by the [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. The largest polar bear on record, reportedly weighing 1,002 kg (2,210 lb), was a male shot at [Link niet meer beschikbaar] in northwestern Alaska in 1960.

Largest Land Animal....
AFRICAN ELEPHANT
Loxodonta africana
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

Imagine six, full-size pick-up trucks stacked on top of each other. That's how much the largest African elephant weighed. There are other species of elephants, namely the Asian and the Indian, but they are much smaller than the African. The African elephant is the king among the giants on land. No other land animal comes close to the size of these creatures. It would take 165 full-grown men to make up the same weight as the world's record African elephant. The noise of an elephant digesting its food (when its tummy's growling) can be heard up to 600ft/183m away. Elephants actually have control over their digestive processes because they are able to stop the sounds of digestion when they sense danger.

· In one year an elephant can drink 15,000 gal/57,000 liters of water
· Male elephants usually weigh about 16,500 lbs/7,425 kgs and are about 20 ft/6.1m long
· Elephants have only FOUR teeth, which they can lose and replace up to six times
· Elephants are herbivores, meaning they eat only plants and vegetation
· African elephants can live as long as 70 years
· Female gestation (length of pregnancy) in elephants is 22 months - almost 2 years!
· Both male and female elephants have ivory tusks, which they use to dig for water, strip bark off trees, and the males used to 'spar' with each other









An Elephant Never Forgets
Elephants are very intelligent animals, with a sophisticated system of communicating. Like whales, they can create sounds that are outside the range of human hearing (called subsonic* sound). By blowing air through large chambers in their nasal passages they can create low rumbling sounds that can carry as far as five miles (8kms). No matter how loudly you screamed, even through a megaphone or a public address microphone, you couldn't be heard by another person five miles away! Being able to communicate with other groups of elephants helps the elephants to detect danger and warn others, as well as to find water, which is extremely scarce in some parts of Africa. African elephants are intelligent enough to be able to detect water flowing underground and have been seen digging up water in a riverbed that has run dry. Elephants really are amazing animals!!!

Deadliest Creature ...
SEA WASP (Marine Stinger)
Chironex fleckeri
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

wasp, or marine stinger. The name sea wasp is misleading because the creature isn't actually a wasp or insect at all. It is a jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri). The "bell" ofthis box jelly can get as big as a basketball with up to 60 tentacles hanging down as long as 15 feet, which is pretty good sized jelly. Not as big as the

[Link niet meer beschikbaar], though.

Silent Stalkers​

Sea Wasps, or box jellies, are not aggressive. They don't have to be. For jellyfish, they are pretty fast swimmers (up to 5mph), dangling their long tentacles in the surf behind them until something, usually a fish, gets caught in their practically invisible tentacles. That's where all their nematocysts (stinging capsules contained within cells called cnidocytes located along the tentacles) are located. (Most people who have been stung are Aussies who were swimming in the surf along with the jellies and never even saw the tentacles.) The poison is used to kill their prey as close to "instant" as possible in order to prevent a struggling victim from thrashing their delicate tissues. Makes sense. Then they can take their time devouring their meal without risking injury to themselves.

Deadly Toxins

What's really amazing is how the stinging cells work. They're little tiny poison darts that are buried inside the flesh of each tentacle (like the sweat glands in your skin), along the entire length. They're triggered chemically, by contacting the surface of human skin or the scaly skin of a fish. Scientists have captured box jellies and put them in tanks in the laboratory. Simply by pouring alcohol into the tank they caused the stinging cells to react and release their venom. Hmmm. This means that if the jelly's tentacles don't come in contact with the chemicals on human skin, the nematocysts won't respond and you won't get stung!

Vampire Squid from Hell
Misschien niet de grootste in zijn soort, maar zeker weten wel het meest trippende beest op deze planeet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q5ZQH2Uzpew

The Vampire Squid (Vampyroteuthis infernalis, lit. "vampire squid from hell") is a small, deep-sea cephalopod found throughout the temperate and tropical oceans of the world. Unique retractile sensory filaments justify the Vampire Squid's placement in its own order: Vampyromorphida (formerly Vampyromorpha), though it shares similarities with both squid and octopuses. As a phylogenetic relict it is the only known surviving member of its order, first described and mistakenly identified as an octopus in 1903 by German teuthologist Carl Chun.

At a maximum 30 cm (1 ft) in total length, the Vampire Squid is no threat to humans. Its 15 cm (6 inch) gelatinous body varies in color between velvety jet-black and pale reddish, depending on location and lighting conditions. A webbing of skin connects its eight arms, each lined with rows of fleshy spines or cirri; the inside of this "cloak" is black. Only the distal half (farthest from the body) of the arms have suckers. Its limpid, globular eyes; which appear red or blue, also depending on lighting; are proportionately the largest in the animal kingdom at 2.5 cm (1 inch) in diameter.
Mature adults have a pair of ear-like fins projecting from the lateral sides of the mantle. These fins serve as the adult's primary means of propulsion: Vampire Squid "fly" through the water by flapping their fins. Their powerful beak-like jaws are as white as ivory. Within the webbing are two pouches wherein the tactile velar filaments are concealed. The filaments are analogous to a true squid's tentacles, extending well past the arms; however, they are a different arm pair than the squid's tentacles. Instead, the filaments are the same pair that were lost by the ancestral octopuses.
The Vampire Squid is covered entirely in light-producing organs called photophores. The animal has great control over the organs, capable of producing disorienting flashes of light for fractions of a second to several minutes in duration. The intensity and size of the photophores can also be modulated. Appearing as small white discs, the photophores are larger and more complex at the tips of the arms and at the base of the two fins, but are absent from the underside of the caped arms. Two larger white areas on top of the head were initially believed to also be photophores, but have turned out to be photoreceptors.
The chromatophores (pigment organs) common to most cephalopods are poorly developed in Vampire Squid. While this means the animal is not capable of changing its skin colour in the dramatic fashion of shallow-dwelling cephalopods, such trickery is not needed at the pitch-black depths in which it lives.

Oh crap..
Giant Japanese spider Crab
Macrocheira Kaempferi [Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pa0SY6RYJIo&feature=fvw

When you think of the worlds largest spider you will normally envisage the Tarantula, with a leg span of 8 or 9 inches, but technically speaking the worlds largest spider is the Taka-ashi-gani or Japanese Spider Crab, Macrocheira Kaempferi

The Japanese spider crab, Macrocheira kaempferi, is the largest known [Link niet meer beschikbaar]; fully grown it can reach a leg span of almost 4 m (13 [Link niet meer beschikbaar]), a body size of up to 37 cm (15 inches) and a weight of up to 20 [Link niet meer beschikbaar] (44 [Link niet meer beschikbaar]). The crab's natural [Link niet meer beschikbaar] is on the bottom of the [Link niet meer beschikbaar] (some 300 to 400 m deep) around [Link niet meer beschikbaar], where it feeds on dead animals and [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. It is believed to have a [Link niet meer beschikbaar] of up to 100 years.
Currently, this is the only living species of the genus Macrocheira, but there have been two reports of other [Link niet meer beschikbaar] specimens. M. kaempferi is named in honor of [Link niet meer beschikbaar], the [Link niet meer beschikbaar] traveller and naturalist from [Link niet meer beschikbaar], [Link niet meer beschikbaar].
The Japanese spider crab has 10 [Link niet meer beschikbaar]. The front two legs have been adapted into [Link niet meer beschikbaar], or claws. It has a dark orange body with white spots on its thin legs. In males, the limbs on which the claws are located become longer than its other limbs, and a large male can widen them to more than 3 m. The oval-shaped and vertically rounded shell can reach 30 cm in width and can be up to 40 cm long. The [Link niet meer beschikbaar] are situated on the front, and two thorns stick out between them. Younger specimens feature hair and thorns on the shell, and their frontal horns are longer, but these gradually atrophy as the crab ages.

Most Ferocious...
Red Bellied PIRANHA
Pygocentrus nattereri

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fxw1EFcm3vw

From the moment tiny baby piranhas hatch from their microscopic eggs, they come into the world armed and dangerous. Baby piranha will feast on tiny crustaceans, fruits, seeds, and aquatic plants. Once they reach about 1.5 inches in length they begin feeding on the fins and flesh of other fish that wander too closely. As they grow larger they begin to venture out in groups (schools) of about 20 fish where they use a variety of hunting strategies to kill and eat their prey. Heck, they don't kill their prey first, they just start eating the victim alive - that's what makes them so ferocious. Adult piranha have been known to eat their own babies. Talk about brutal!
When a school of piranha are in a feeding frenzy the water appears to boil and churn red with blood. They attack with such ferocity that they strip an animal of its flesh within a matter of minutes, even taking bites out of each other in the process.
There are approximately 20 species of piranha found living in the Amazon River, with only four or five of them posing any danger. Most piranha species are quite harmless and docile, but the ones with the nasty reputation for aggressive behavior are the red-bellied piranha, Pygocentrus nattereri.
Adult piranha will eat just about anything - other fish, sick and weakened cattle, even parts of people. Sickly cattle that have stooped their heads down to drink from the river have been grabbed by the mouth and nose and pulled into the water, completely devoured minutes later. As wicked as it all sounds, piranha have a useful function in the Amazonian jungles just like any other predators in the wild. They are part of the checks and balances Mother Nature employs to eliminate the weak and sick so only the strong survive

Fastest on Earth...
PEREGRINE FALCON
Falco Peregrinus
[Afbeelding niet meer beschikbaar]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3mTPEuFcWk

Fastest Creature on Earth

The relationship between Peregrine Falcons and humans goes back thousands of years. Once highly prolific and widespread throughout the world, Peregrine Falcons were commonly used throughout Europe, Asia and the Middle East in the practice of Falconry. Peregrines are naturally docile and easily lent themselves to taming by humans who saw the Falcon's hunting prowess as an asset in hunting for food. The Peregrine’s magnificent speed and power also made it the favorite bird for falconers in the Middle Ages. The female, which is slightly larger and more powerful than the male, was preferred, and only she is given the title of “falcon.” A male Peregrine is referred to as a “tiercel” meaning third. Although falconry has fallen out of favor, there are still those who practice it today.





Masters of the Hunt
Peregrine Falcons are raptors - which means they are birds which hunt and kill for food. They are very well adapted to the hunt, with strong, sharp, curved beaks for tearing flesh, large, keen eyes for viewing prey at great distances, and sharp, powerful claws (called talons) for clutching, and grasping their quarry.
Other birds, such as pigeons, blackbirds, ducks, and pheasants, are the falcons's usual prey. Peregrines' incredible speed is the primary weapon used to kill their prey during the hunt. When they get ready to strike, they close their talons and strike the bird in a plunging dive, usually knocking the bird unconscious with a single blow. The force of the initial strike is so severe that the bird is usually killed on impact. As the victim falls through the air the falcon circles back and picks its prey out of the air with its claws. If the bird survives the initial blow, the Peregrine will break its neck with a quick strike of its powerful beak to the bird’s spine.






Fascinating Facts
The Peregrine Falcon is easily recognizable as distinct from other raptors. It has black feathers on its head, sort of in the pattern of a helmet, with dark feathers around its beak that look kind of like a dark mustache (remember "mutton chops" in the 1970s?) You could say it looks like a "biker" hawk. The feathers on its back are dark, with a bluish cast. The tips of the falcon's wings are very sharply "pointed", making a striking and unique silhouette during flight.
The peregrine is the fastest bird on record reaching horizontal cruising speeds of 65-90 kmh ( 40-55 mph) and not exceeding speeds of 105-110 kmh (65-68 mph). When stooping, the peregrine flies at much greater speeds however, varying from 160-440 kmh (99-273 mph)!
Pairs of Peregrines mate for life, usually setting up housekeeping high in the cliffs. Since we're running out of cliffs in Europe and the U.S. Peregrines have taken to building their nests up on top of high rise buildings in large cities. Peregrine nests are called scrapes, or eyries and baby falcons are called eyasses. Although they have a high mortality rate, Peregrines have been known to live as long as 15 years.
