Its only "heart" is the size of a small car, and its large veins are wide enough for a child to crawl through.

3. "tallest tree species in the world" (Hyperion Redwood Tree - USA):

"Hyperion" is the name of a redwood castle tree in California National Park, which is recorded as the tallest living tree in the world. At 115.9 meters (30 stories higher than the building and higher than the Statue of Liberty), the U.S. government had to close the ban on tourists from approaching the actual area to prevent the ground around its roots from being trampled.

4. "Creatures of the World's Largest Area Size" (Giant Honey Mushroom - USA):

The honey mushroom species Armillaria ostoyae, at a forest in Oregon, may look like an ordinary mushroom on the ground, but its underground mycelium (Mycelium) fibers permeate and connect into a single organism, spanning a vast area of up to 8.8 square kilometers (larger than nearly 5,500 acres) and older than 2,400 years.

5. "the world's largest invertebrate creature" (Colossal Squid Ink - Antarctic Ocean):

The Colossal Squid is a deep-sea monster that is bigger and heavier than the Giant Squid. The adult has a length of 10 to 14 meters and weighs nearly 500 kilograms. Amazingly, it holds the record for being the "largest eye in the world," with an eye size of nearly 30 centimeters (as big as a food dish) to trap a little light under the deep sea.
