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!

They used to be covered in smooth white limestone with a gold cap. Imagine being an ancient and coming across this thing at a time when people had never seen anything really taller than a tree. You'd be amazed. Wow!

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.

I lived in Arkansas for several years, where the Razorback Hogs are legendary. It's estimated there are about 200,000 there today. Males can weigh up to 300 pounds. Glad I never ran into one. Lol

Holy sh*t!!! And I live in the middle of nowhere in a damn forest in East Texas. I know we have them, but I've never actually seen one in person, Thank God. I've seen every other animal you can think of, from deer to possums, rabbits, armadillos, squirrels, raccoons, etc. and so on. Oh and birds of every kind, (Year ago, I had just gotten a little bitty dog, she didn't even live long enough for me to name her, because she was taken by a damn hawk). But, regardless of the wild boars, the armadillos who tear up my garden, and the hawk that took my dog...there is no way I want to move back to any city. Been there, done that.

Notice how close the tusks are. Every time they open and shut their mouths they are sharpening them. My hunter friend showed me on a skull he bleached. Those things will rip you apart

There are always javelinas hanging around my neighborhood and my 8-pound dachshund thinks he’s tough growling and barking at them when we go on walks.

There's a reason when they hunt then with dogs, the dogs wear Kevlar vests.

Prehistoric Wild Boars could be the size of a Buffalo. If you have no tseen a Buffalo up close, try 6-7 feet at the shoulder as a scale

This is small actually. The latest generation for off-shore wind parks will exceed 100 meters blade size (110 yards).

This is a bit arbitrary. Surely, comets are larger than steroids, which are larger than meteorits, but the size stil can vary by many kilometres in diameter.

I was just reading in a book last night about medicine, and when a scientist from the mid 1800's couldn't get a human foot to dissect, he got a bear's foot and did it instead, since they are so similar. It was someone famous, but now I cannot recall who it was.

Are these the cables used for Internet? You guys do realize that our entire WWW is connected via the oceans, underground, and NOT by satellites right? You can see the map of the cables that go across the ocean floors.... there are not that many of them. It's amazing!
