Sure, we all know that blue whales are massive and a cargo ship is impressively huge. But there are some things in the world that you probably have never thought of before that are mind-blowingly enormous!

Have you ever seen the size of a horse’s lungs? How about a mining truck? Perhaps a moose up close? You might think they’re big…but they’re like really, REALLY big!

Here are 13 things that are so much bigger than you ever imagined.

Get ready to feel super small.

1) “Quetzalcoatlus northropi model next to a 1.8m man. The largest known flying animal to ever exist.”

So, if your job really sucks, then a billion seconds is almost like an entire day of work. And a million seconds is more than some people get for holiday and sick pay for the entire year!

See that little school bus behind the truck? Yeah. This must feel like you’re driving your house from the second-floor bedroom! It even has a private patio.

When you’re driving down the highway, you’re always flying past them so you never really get a good grasp of its size. Even so, but some people still need glasses to see these signs!
