Largest Animals To Ever Exist On Earth. Size Comparison (PART 2) 

“Planet earth has been home to some of the largest creatures in the history of life.” Seriously? Someone actually wrote that line? As opposed to all the other planets where we’ve found life, earth has had the biggest ones?

Some impressively large creatures can still be found roaming the isles of WalMart where they forage to this day.

Love how they switched back and forth between different units of measurement to keep us on our toes!

I think it's very cool that we look at dinosaurs as being the largest animals ever, but the largest ever is still alive today. Hopefully we can keep it from going extinct.

That goldfish-sized little modern Great White shark looks to be at least one tenth the size of megalodon when in reality it was about a third its size.

I am always completely blown away by the size and weight from these creatures from an ancient past and it fascinates me every time again

How'd I not know blue whales were endangered:( that's so depressing. They are the most majestic creatures to ever exist and we were blessed to share the Earth with them during our time period.

its crazy how big some dinosaurs were, and yet, the Blue Whale today is still bigger (or roughly the same)

cant believe these massive massive giant creatures roamed the same earth that now we humans live in.....truly amazing....wow....

The name beasts are know in different countries US : Beasts UK: Beasts Australia: Pet

Only 10,000 blue whales left on the planet?! That blew my mind. I was peacefully falling asleep to this video and that definitely woke me up.

Build me a VR game where I can travel the world in older areas and walk amongst these magnificent animals

If Megalenia went extinct 50,000 years ago and it did make contact with humans, I wouldn’t be surprised if we drove it to extinction.

This is the perfect video to watch at 3 am while stoned

In terms of overall shear size and weight…. Blue whale takes it by far. What an enormous amazing creature

Crazy that planet Earth had these amazing creatures on Earth :o definitely the animals of all time

I remember years ago having a pallet of gravel delivered. It was a ton. It made me appreciate just how much a ton is. Blue whales can be 200! Blown away.

"approximately 19 million years ago." well, that's something I guess. Argentinosaurs lived about 40 million years after all dinos had died. Undead dinos?

Planet earth has been home to some of the largest and most impressive creatures in the history of life.... c'mon, you're pulling my leg.

I love videos like this. I can binge watch them for hours.

Thanks for putting the source of the content you used. That Julian Johnson-Mortimer channel looks really great. Thanks for this!

7:11 there is actually pently of evidence that suggests Megalodon and Livyatan did compete and clash with each other when need be. The megalodon and Livyatan had very similar diets and its been heavily theorized (with evidence to support such as tooth marks and even fossil evidence) that the Megalodon ate whales by disabling them before killing them like many prehistoric apex predators. Plus, while Livyatan lived for a shorter length of time, there is some overlap between Megalodon’s time and Livyatan. They also did hunt in the same waters

This was one exciting vid to watch. Excellently edited with awesome animation.

Awesome video! How could we say the Blue Whale was the largest animal to have ever lived? I believe we should say, that we know of! It is highly likely we have only found a small percentage of the fossil record.

Crazy that such a small brain controlled all those nerves in that dinosaur. Brain is truly the most powerful power source to ever exisy

Are we not gonna talk about how he said “Earth has been home to some of the largest and most impressive creatures in the history of life”. Well duh, where else would they come from??? LOL😂

It's possible that early men in Australia were hunted commonly by megalania and perhaps to avoid future attacks, they made a coordinated effort to eradicate every lizard they came across.

I'm surprised that they didn't include the titan boa, the Giganotosaurus, or the Argentavis.

We should be grateful that we are still living along the largest and heaviest animal to have ever existed on earth.

Love all this wonderful information, many thanks ❤

Love this channel.

Misleading thumbnail.

I was lucky to get to dive with blue whales and I gotta say that you really need to see them live to realize how big they are.

It's really informative Thank you for sharing your information

1:15 the cretaceous period ended like 66 million years ago, which is, in fact, not the same as 19

It's said to be the oldest recorded music from dinosaur era is MEGALOVANIA. If you search the web, you can still listen to this song, if you can find the original version. Over millions of years, it evolved and new species of the song was found. Make no mistake. The newest iteration of this song is still massive and ground shaking.

Every creature that ever lived on Earth, at some point lived on Earth.

Great animation and video 👍👍

good video

I had seen somethings about Paraceratherium before, first photos when looking up photos of prehistoric animals on Bing images, but it was nice to see them included in a video, I also already knew since I was a kid, that Blue Whale were the largest animal to ever have lived!

Truly truly amazing ty for that very informative n interesting 👏 👍 and I've subbed 😀

Awesome video!!!

What about the Short-Faced Bear, twice the size of a Grizzly Bear, and it went extinct about 12,000 years ago.

Let's all respect the camera man filming the dinosaurs

So clever and informative to show the scale of each creature, a catastrophic flaw in most doco's, well done

Destiny Geographic !!! More animal/nature videos please.

We will never know what the largest predatorial lifeform in the universe is/was.

The only dinosaur that the blue whale isn't bigger than is the Arentinosaurus because they were 108 feet or 36 meters in length.

Great Video! I Always enjoy your channel

I like videos like this.

I find it really hard to believe that the argentinasaurus’ brain was the size of a baseball given its size. Maybe the size of our head. But a baseball??

In that thumbnail I'm pretty sure that creature behind the megalodon would be able to be seen from space

Argentinosaurus was really good at football and is thought to be one of Messi's direct ancestors

Jurassic World Evolution mod content in this kinda video was a surprise lol

I know we are not only ones in the universe! Could you imagine what is out there? What kind of life is there?

Wow crazy the blue whales heart beats so few times per minute.

Your video is quite informative and i liked it. But you forgot to mention mosasaurs

I wonder how they got such good video from that far back. I didn't think HD was invented that far. Oh well. What do I know?

Brain the size of a baseball.... Damn...

Livyatan and Megalodon lived in the Oceans at the same time, and so would almost certainly have competed against one another, so you might want to revisit that one.

Great watch!!

Love this stuff..

In his first sentence he says 'Planet Earth has been home to some of the largest and most impressive creatures.' I think you'll find it's been home to ALL of them. 😂

There are members of the fungi family bigger then hundreds of blue whales together, like 7000 tons or so, just saying. They live under the trees in our forests.

That intro though had me chuckling 'Planet earth has been home to some of the largest creatures in the history of life'

Whale shark: am I joke to you?

What about Titanaboa (the largest snake to ever exist), or Purrasaurus, the goliath ancient Cayman ancestor? A 50 foot snake and a 37 foot Crocodillian should've made the list...

Thank you for this insightful history of life on earth. When it comes to living big, or living it large, these creatures have definitely made"it". I mean possessing gills is definitely an advancement of biotechnology which can't be compared to any other planet. Also having a thick skin, definitely helps to live large. How badass to be 1000 kilos and chew grass and drink water. I definitely draw my achievement as a human from drinking a cup of water when I'm thirsty, I really feel accomplished. If only I could have a girlfriend as large as a whale, ensuring I'd never have to worry about being unloved, considering the size of her heart ❤

Impressive narrative! I was drawn into the indigenous lizards!!

The largest living organism is a fungus.

It's too bad we'll never see most of those animals in action today. Thanks Biden.😢

These are the ones we know about. Imagine the ones we don’t know existed or maybe exist now.

Thank you - regardless of the sarcasm from other viewers at your opening statement because they can't find anything intelligent to say - I actually really enjoyed your video and found it informative and interesting.

You missed south american short-faced bear.

I like this info packet. 👍🏻

I like those video's alot. but i can swear feels like those images are directly from Ark Survival evolved :D hehe

Good one

Why is he talking like this was made for aliens learning about Earth lmao

sometimes i still believe that the mountains are creatures that used to live on this earth, not a sliver of the mountain, I mean the whole mountain.

You got the argentinosauros off Andy’s dinosaurs adventures!

That intro line is 11/10 🤣🤣

Thanks 😊

Maybe im wrong but when he compared the 18m Mega to the 6m great white. Unless he switched metrics on me. That scale is a lil off lol

Earth is home to the biggest living things in the history of life lol. Bold statement

Should be a required video for the Ark game series

The video made megalodon look like 123 feet, they really only got to 66 feet.

Best docu-drama writing ever😂

my back looks like a Spinosaurus’s when i’m sitting down and resting my back against air

i was waiting for the terror bird to show up, since we were talking about all the different categories lol

what curious about this is how its the un-updated version of the Spinosaurus as we have now discovered it didnt have a "sail" it had a whole webbed tail

Impressive

Teşekkürler...

It drives me insane when they say "the blue whale is the largest animal to have ever lived". It should be "the blue whale is believed to be the largest animal to have ever lived".

My favorite mythical animal is trex

I think you also needed to mention about titanoboa, sarcosuchus, giant sloths etc

Leviathan be like: I'm da biggest boi!

It would be interesting to do a video for the smallest non-insect creatures.

How could Dinosaurs even survive in big numbers also needing huge amounts of food?
