My favorite section of the 'Guinness World Records' book was always the biggest things. I marveled at the Blue Whale, the skyscrapers vying for the world's tallest and trucks with wheels the size of a house.

The most important part, the thing that really makes you say 'wow' is the scale. You can't really appreciate the sheer size of something unless something familiar is placed alongside it for comparison. We here at Bored Panda have compiled a list of things that are even bigger than you probably thought. From wombats to wolves, these 'big' things are actually freaking huge! Scroll down to check them out for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!

    Story time! My husband grew up on the west coast, I grew up a city girl in the east. He took me to Yellowstone a few years ago and I wanted to see a wolf SO BADLY. We were driving past a field and I yelled "STOP! Is that a wolf?!" He slowed down and looked, said "No, that's a coyote." I wasn't convinced. "Are you sure? How can you be sure? I think that's a wolf." And he said "Trust me - if it were a wolf, you'd know. That's a coyote." Fast forward to many hours later, and found ourselves driving down another road. Around a pond to the right a lot of people with cameras had gathered, so we decided to pull over and see what it was they were gawking at. However, we had barely slowed down when a full grown, entirely black wolf stepped out in front of our car. My response? "Oh." His response? "Yeah."

    This is exactly what happened to us. We've been seeing some exceedingly large coyotes around our place in the past few years, some with much darker coloring than usual too, of course we wondered if they were wolves. Then we were riding in the mountains of Eastern Oregon and a wolf crossed the road in front of us. Yeah, totally different!

    see this is a good comparison because people dont really know how big wolves are because you only ever see wolves next to other wolves and you know that wolves are big but you dont get a sense of how big until you get a good size comparison

    Many people believe coyotes are large & fierce canines. But they are usually smaller than an Australian Shepard & very timid. My chihuahua has chased them off a few times (I didn't know they were outside til I heard him yapping). They are considered "pests" to most rural area residents. Scavengers. Which is sad because we do see them in late fall when foods are scarce up higher. They never attack humans unless very cornered & last resort to get free.

    Actually not the tallest anymore. All of the tallest trees in the world are indeed giant sequoias, but Hyperion outranks the General Sherman by far (379.7 ft for Hyperion, compared to 275 ft for General Sherman). Helios was discovered in 2006. I don't believe it's location has been revealed to the public.
