What are the things that surprise you because of their size?

 1. ERShR-7000 excavator, a true titan of earthmoving technology.

2. This is the titan arum, considered one of the largest unbranched flowers in all of biology, and can grow to be 3 meters tall. However, it is not its size that draws the most attention from those who approach it, but rather its smell. The flower is known for its characteristic smell of rotting meat, capable of causing nausea even in the strongest stomachs.

3. The impressive size of these honeycombs, produced by traditional Nepalese bees.

4. This is the giant bullfrog, which can reach 32 centimeters in length and weighs about 3.25 kg. It certainly lives up to its name.

5. Meet the Holorusia mikado , the largest mosquito in the world. The specimen in the photo is 10cm long and was captured in China. Normally, mosquitoes of this species are not that big – reaching, on average, 5cm. Even so, they are quite large compared to other insects of this type. The good news about them is that sucking blood is not part of their routine.

6. Allure of the Seas, one of the largest passenger ships in the world. This giant can accommodate up to 6,400 passengers in its facilities.

7. 6-ton tires, 4 meters high, designed for Japanese special trucks.

8. This is Pamela Wang, the woman who became famous for finding the largest avocado in the world, at least that has been recorded. At 2.4 kg, it surpassed the previous holder of the record, which was 1.8 kg.

9. What you see in the photo is the largest swimming pool in the world, located in Chile, very close to the shore of the Pacific Ocean. At 1kg long, it takes 250 million liters of water to completely fill this pool.

10. The largest wine barrel, with a capacity of 205,574 liters of the drink.

11. Coco-de-mer, the largest nut ever found on the planet, weighing 25kg, measuring 1.5m in length and 0.9m in diameter. Incredible, isn't it?

12. This tree, nicknamed General Sherman, is considered the largest living being in the world, with an incredible 84m in height and 11m in diameter at the base.

13. The anchor chains of the Queen Mary 2 cruise ship are simply colossal in size. This is necessary to anchor a ship of such surreal size to the ground.
