All The Tallest And Longest Things Ever Existed on Earth

You ever wonder why people, plants, and animals only reach a certain height? Most of the Earth’s inhabitants can't grow too tall because of the pull of gravity. For example, if you were to double in size, you’d become 8 times heavier, and the force of gravity would crush you. Yet some amazing lifeforms manage to find a loophole in this gravitational law, growing tall and proud. You’ll be surprised and shocked to see them. You'll see some jaw-dropping giants in the video, but the largest living thing on our planet is neither an animal nor a plant.

SUMMARY
-The tallest life forms on our planet are trees. Trees pretty much have one goal in life: to spend all their energy on growing taller than their neighbors.
-The record holder among the redwoods is a tree with its own name: Hyperion. Discovered in 2006, this guy is so massive that you can’t even see the top.
-The second-place medal for the world’s tallest tree species goes to the Australian Mountain-Ash, known in the scientific community as Eucalyptus regnans.
-African bush elephants often reach a shoulder height of 13 feet.
-The tallest living animal on Earth is the giraffe, whose leg alone is taller than the average human. Males grow up to 18 feet, and females are a bit shorter at around 14 feet tall.
-The Blue Whale can reach a length of almost 100 feet! Their hearts are as big as a car, and their tongues weigh as much as a full-grown elephant.
-The Lion's Mane Jellyfish can have up to 1,200 tentacles that grow as long as 120 feet.
-The tallest member of the prehistoric animal family was the Sauroposeidon. Fossil records show that its height could reach 60 feet.
-Born in 1868, John Rogan he towered at 8 foot 9 inches tall. There’s also Robert Wadlow, who is still the reigning champ of the tallest people ever to have lived. His nickname was "The Giant of Illinois" and he stood at 8 foot 11 inches.
-The largest living thing on our planet is neither an animal nor a plant. That gold medal goes to the honey fungus.

Awesome video! And as always, remember to stay on the bright side of life!👍☀️

[micheledebenedet]

you got my subscription and the content is great :)
I'd like it better with metric system, slower transitions and different music, just my two cents

[brookejabour]

I've seen a giraffe, crocodile, and bear. Also, Love your videos. Awesome and educational.

Actual palaeontologist here. Many sauropods' legs were NOT longer in the front. That only goes for the species with a structure like Brachiosaurus. The plesiomorphic (aka default, if you will) condition of any dinosaur is long hind legs, short front legs/arms.

A tree with a FACEBOOK PAGE??? Wow, the best Facebook page ever.

Didn't anyone realise how wrong he is when saying that the average height in the netherlands for both male and female is 6 foot 3, or is it just me?

[inanismortis]

Did anyone realize how the guy pronounced Oregon as "Ore-eh-gon" instead of "Ore-gun"?

[kandykapybara]

I knew some of these but I was suprised about how my guess was wrong on prehistoric animals, I always thought it was Ultrasaurus.

[candyplayer]

Can u make more vids like this ? I like them

[KernofRBS]

The title of this video is just a big “that’s what she said!” Joke

[LucasFilmtDoor]

Could you please mention the lengths and heights in meters as well for future videos? That's easier for people who are (like me) used to using it. Now I've to calculate it every time I'm curious to see what the exact height or length is, and that's annoying.

Bootlace Worm! The longest known bootlace worm was studied in 1864 and was found to be 180 feet (55 meters) in length. Officially, this worm was declared as the longest animal in the world.

The more I watch Brightside, the less bright I become.

This is amazing! I always think that what if dinosaurs are still alive? Would there be humans? Don't know Hahaha
