most of the giants are quite normal… the basking sharks are not exactly the biggest sharks but that one’s a big one!! the colossal squid’s the biggest ever caught but scientists are searching for bigger ones still… but some of the mutated animals… they’re a result of the use of radiation and chemical products by human beings… for example i’ve a few types of two-headed fishes like this one http://www.sunshinecoastdaily.com.au/story/2009/01/12/two-headed-fish-found-noosa-boreen-point/ and i’ve seen a real two-headed cow, i tell you, the feeling’s scary… totally different from how you feel here!! anyway, interesting post!! keep it up!! cheers…

Well, sorry to tell u but the giant squid was dead or quickly died and they took it back somewhere to research it (I want to say UCLA but I could be wrong, you can find all the videos of them defrosting it and sticking cameras inside of it online, it is quite interesting and disgusting at the same time), so the initial statement of over half is an overstatement, but half is a correct summation, so i believe that we can let it rest now. Unless the stick bug was also dead, then it was correct to be outraged at over half of the oversized creatures appearing dead. JUUUUST saying…LOL

OH MY GOSH, PLEASE DON’T LET “AL GORE” SEE THOSE. HE’LL CLAIM THAT THEY ARE THE RESULT’S OF “GLOBAL WARMING”. IT’S VERY INTERESTING THAT THEY DO EXSIST.

We have to admit though, these are very interesting pictures. Besides, fact is usually stranger than fiction.

While I agree that some of these are fake, I read also read an article about the giant hog that discounted claims of Photoshopping. The shark is obviously not a great white, and there is a real cow that is horse-sized, though I don’t know if the cow in this picture is the same one. I also thought while looking at these, “Why did they have to kill them?” Then I realized that the reason they were even discovered is due to the fact that they were caught by fishermen and died from being out of water.

The 6-legged frog has six legs due to a parasite that makes them develop several different abnormalities(more legs, more eyes, ETC.) while they are still tad poles.

Nice list, but the HOG listed second was actually a persons pet. The hog got out one night and that stupid *** redneck kid shot it half a dozen times with a 50cal hand gun. He was a real f***ing idiot when he was interviewed and claimed that he didn’t know it was someone’s pet. Then the owners of the Hog were on the news crying because their pet was killed by the neighbor’s kid. I hate rednecks.

yes… a lot of the links don’t even relate to the picture, or have any details about the picture.

for example… the link under the “giant killer sea worm” links to an article about the evolution of snake’s jaw structures, and makes no reference to a giant sea worm.

Also, the link under the “cyclops cat” just links to the exact same picture at a website called http://www.funlol.com... hardly a reference.

It’s plainly obvious that while some of these are real, the majority of them are either photoshops or hoaxes. I mean look at the 4 legged duck… that person is obviously holding two ducklings, hiding one’s head behind the other’s body.

The shark is a tiger not a great white or the basking in the link. You can tell by the blunt nose and relatively short, curved to the side teeth. Great whites have a pointier snout and longer symmetrical triangular teeth.

That “killer sea worm” is not poisonous at all nor does that link reference it being so. Its called a pile worm, and is commonly used as fish bait. They do bite however with pincer style teeth.

most of these pictures are gross misrepresentations and photoshopped and most of the captions are wrong.

examples:

-the shark is a great white. great whites are nowhere near the largest shark species and 13 feet is not the largest specimen found.
-the hog, the alligator, and the cow are normal sized, just photoshopped and/or a trick of the camera
-the albino alligators are raised in captivity because they will not survive without their natural camouflage, so they are not very difficult to find

it’s fine to post these pictures for fun, but don’t post them as facts/truths.

Because Whippet, we’re destructive predators that enjoy killing things including ourselves. We suck, but maybe one day with genetic engineering we can produce an ethically sound and truly intelligent species…from dung grows the rose.

Why, oh why are a lot of these animals dead? Especially that hog. Do we always have to kill, kill, kill?
