The True Scale of These Things Is Surprising

One of the most interesting sections in the book of 'Guinness World Records' was always the one that held the records for the world's largest things, such as the world's tallest man or the largest egg ever laid. However, there are actually a lot of things in our world that are far bigger in reality than most people would expect.

Tigers are impressive!  "...Generally, males vary in total length from 250 to 390 cm (8.2 to 12.8 ft) and weigh between 90 to 306 kg (198 to 675 lb)…"  And up to 4' tall at the shoulders.     https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger

And this doesn't measure them when at full reach!  They're simply fascinating!
