What is the most 'long' animal on the planet?

The length of this animal's body will surely make the "long-haired, long-clothed" creature the size of a blue whale also have to "recline the hat".

We all know about Yao Ming , a former basketball player who played in the NBA American Basketball League through many funny pictures spread on the Internet. Besides the face with a funny laugh, this guy is also known for owning a terrible height: 2.29m!

Yao Ming - basketball player with China's "horror" height

When standing next to such a 2.3m height, we will only look like a rock next to a stone. So suppose one day you have the opportunity to stand next to an animal that is ten times as long, so what will it feel?

The "names" possess a long body

Referring to the "long" word we will often think of a scary animal: python .

In early April 2016, a group of highway construction workers in Penang, Malaysia accidentally discovered a giant brocade python while under construction. This giant brocade is up to 7.5 meters long.

Unfortunately, this python is discovered when it is dead so we cannot know its maximum size. If this python continues to grow, it doesn't know what its true length can be.

But that is not the biggest python in the world. The Guinness Book of Records recognizes the longest python in the world discovered to be 7.67 meters long. This python was found in Missouri, USA.

That's terrible, but the body length of these pythons is still "shrimps" in the animal world. Simply because they live on land. Wanting to be the longest animal on the planet, pythons must live under water.

Beneath the water - the place with the most precise names on the planet

Most of the Earth's area is covered by the ocean, and this is the place where most of the "long-clothed, long-haired" people in the animal world live.

The most famous of these is the blue whale . The body length of this species can be up to 30m, 17-20 times the average height of a human. Blue whale is so big that a newly born fish has a bigger length than a brocade python.

Blue whales tend to live more in the southern hemisphere, the "big ". In the years 1937 - 1938, the largest blue whale was accurately measured by scientists with a length of 29.9m. Even more documents show that humans have found blue whales that reach more than 33m long.

But stand out, the shelves stand out, the blue whale still succumbs to one of his neighbors in the ocean, which is a lion jellyfish . This jellyfish has such a " squeaky " name because it possesses red-yellow tentacles like the forest princess mane.

The body of the lion jellyfish is quite large, with a diameter of up to 2m. That's why lion jellyfish tentacles must also grow very long, helping this jellyfish to have a balanced body. In it, after receiving from the 1860s, it was found that a lion with a tentacles of 36.5m long.

But after all, lion jellyfish is still not the longest animal. So in the end, who does this person belong to?

Shoelace worms - the longest animal in the world.

But unexpectedly, the largest animal is not a lion jellyfish, or an animal in the mysterious ocean but a very close creature to humans, that is the wire-worm .

This worm often lives near the sea, particularly under sand or in steep cliffs. They are dark brown, and are capable of producing stinky substances for self-defense.

Although the width is only 5mm, but the length of the shoe worms is very large. In 1864, a giant shoelace was found on St Andrew's coast, Scotland.

This worm has a length of up to 55m , and is recorded as the "most terrible" creature on the planet.
