The Great Barrier Reef is the world's largest structure composed of living entities, stretching 2,000 km (1,200 mi) but contains many organisms of many types of species. When considering singular entities, the largest organisms are clonal colonies which can spread over large areas.
The blue whale is the largest animal known ever to have existed. [43] [44] [45] Some studies have estimated that certain shastasaurid ichthyosaurs and the ancient whale Perucetus could have rivalled the blue whale in size, with Perucetus also being heavier than the blue whale with a mean weight of 180 t (180 long tons; 200 short tons).
The heaviest land mammal is the African bush elephant, which has a weight of up to 10.1 t (11.1 short tons).It measures 10–13 ft at the shoulder and consumes around 230 kg (500 lb) of vegetation a day.

The colony is bigger than a blue whale, the world's largest animal. Located 42 feet under water, the coral colony is visible from space, but until the recent discovery, scientists thought it may ...
Typically, Old World monkeys (paleotropical) are larger than New World monkeys (neotropical); the reasons for this are not entirely understood but several hypotheses have been generated. [3] As a rule, primate brains are "significantly larger" than those of other mammals with similar body sizes. [4]
The blue whale, considered the largest animal ever on the planet, can reach about 100 feet (30 meters) long. Marine reptiles ruled the world's oceans when dinosaurs dominated the land.
