We usually imagine felines as cute little furballs who, no matter how fast they grow up, still fit into our lap just fine. But there’s one cat breed known as the Maine coon that can easily reach up to 40 inches. In comparison, the average size of an adult domestic cat comes in at as little as 8 to 10 inches.

In order to find out more about the scale of these massive felines, Bored Panda reached out to Jess Beckwith, a professional Maine coon breeder based in the United Kingdom from RudyCats.co.uk. Jess told us that Maine coons are referred to “as the dogs of the cat world, not only because of their incredible personalities, but also because of their size.”

They’re the biggest domestic cats and can range from 11 to 33 pounds when fully grown. Two of Jess’s “young neutered boys currently hit the scales at around 21 pounds.” Meanwhile, the largest Maine coon is named Barivel and he measures a whopping 3 feet and 11.2 inches from head to tail tip. That makes him longer than a baseball bat.

However impressive the scale of Maine coons may be, it’s not the most important feature when it comes to exhibitions. Jess said that “good bone structure, features, and the ‘not too extreme’ look is best, as well as temperament and health, of course,” are more important for winning a title in the big game.

This big boy who resembles an oversized guinea pig is, in fact, a nocturnal marsupial known as a wombat (Vombatus ursinus). Patrick has stolen people's hearts by being both incredibly cute and gigantic. Weighing 84 pounds, he is one of the largest (and oldest) wombats ever to have lived.

Only quite recently, a new, wombat-like species was discovered in Australia called Makupirna nambensis, which literally translates to “big bones” in the aboriginal language. The creature’s remains are now one of the oldest fossils found in the area, thought to date back to 25 million years ago.This boy could have weighed 330 pounds, which is more than five adult wombats living today.

Yet, Makupirna is still not the biggest. The absolute record-breaking wombat-like creature was called Diprotodon and it weighed over two tons. This powerful beast could have lived until 11,700 years ago.

Do you feel equally distressed by the endless death caused by those animals? The marlin, for example, must have killed trillions of plankton during it's life. Do they each matter, too? Do you also feel equally distressed by the fact that everything will share that fate sooner or later? No. In fact, you are aware of the fact that sustaining your life depends on ending others - DEPENDS on the fact - and yet you continue to live and point the finger at the other guy as though you were innocent and had nothing to do with it. Can we assume that you are looking for brownie points? Fishing for something? Might this be the motivation for the pointless and mindless virtue signalling that achieves nothing else?

Agreed 100% While there is some benefit to controlled hunting of certain animal species in certain areas, and at specific times...Trophy hunting is barbaric and elitist. Thankfully, photo safari's are becoming the norm. Also, shooting something with a camera and getting a good photo is much harder than killing something with a gun. It challenges and requires the same skills, too.

Here is one of the basic problems with people today, they assume everything without seeking out the information first. None of these pictures contained trophy kills! Most of the dead animals could have been killed by other animals not just humans. And here is the biggest one: People STILL EAT MEAT! Just because you are a vegan/vegetarian does not mean that everyone is as well. It was YOUR CHOICE to live that lifestyle, I didn't choose that for you. So don't sit there on your fake throne and try to tell everyone else how to live their lives. If we eat meat, then just move a long with your condescending b******t!

Believe me, a lot of them are NOT PETA members. PETA's reputation is not that great. Even though I share your viewpoint on animals, it's more a matter of practicality and realizing pollution, loss of habitat, etc is worse. Really, non-trophy-only hunting is the least evil that humans do, still hate seeing them dead. I could only hunt or even fish in a case of extreme necessity. Don't make assumptions.
