huge bananas in the world


The banana is an edible fruit, botanically a berry,produced by several kinds of large herbaceous flowering plants in the genus Musa. In some countries, bananas used for cooking may be called plantains. The fruit is variable in size, color and firmness, but is usually elongated and curved, with soft flesh rich in starch covered with a rind which may be green, yellow, red, purple, or brown when ripe. The fruits grow in clusters hanging from the top of the plant. Almost all modern edible parthenocarpic (seedless) bananas come from two wild species – Musa acuminata and Musa balbisiana. The scientific names of most cultivated bananas are Musa acuminata, Musa balbisiana, and Musa × paradisiaca for the hybrid Musa acuminata × M. balbisiana, depending on their genomic constitution. The old scientific name Musa sapientum is no longer used.

huge flowers in the world

Very impressive giant flowers


Carrion flowers, also known as corpse flowers or stinking flowers, are flowers that emit an odor that smells like rotting flesh. Carrion flowers attract mostly scavenging flies and beetles as pollinators. Some species may trap the insects temporarily to ensure the gathering and transfer of pollen.

any plants in the genus Amorphophallus (family Araceae) are known as carrion flowers. Titan arum (Amorphophallus titanum), which has the world's largest flower head, is also called "carrion flower". Rather than a single flower, the titan arum presents an inflorescence or compound flower composed of a spadix or stalk of small and anatomically reduced male and female flowers, surrounded by a spathe that resembles a single giant petal. This plant has a mechanism to heat up the spadix enhancing the emission of the strong odor of decaying meat to attract its pollinators, carrion-eating beetles and "flesh flies" (family Sarcophagidae). It was first discovered in 1878 in Sumatra.[1]

Rafflesia

Flowers of plants in the genus Rafflesia (family Rafflesiaceae) emit an odor similar to that of decaying meat. This odor attracts the flies that pollinate the plant. The world's largest single bloom is R. arnoldii. This rare flower is found in the rainforests of Borneo and Sumatra. It can grow to be 3 feet across and weigh up to 15 pounds. R. arnoldii is a parasitic plant on Tetrastigma vine, which grows only in primary rainforests. It has no visible leaves, roots, or stem. It does not photosynthesize, but rather uses the host plant to obtain water and nutrients.

Stapelia

Plants in the genus Stapelia are also called "carrion flowers". They are small, spineless, cactus-like succulent plants. Most species are native to South Africa, and are grown as potted plants elsewhere. The flowers of all species are hairy to varying degrees and generate the odor of rotten flesh. The color of the flowers also mimics rotting meat. This attracts scavenging flies, for pollination. The flowers in some species can be very large, notably Stapelia gigantea can reach 30 cm (12 inches) in diameter.



Smilax or Nemexia

In North America, the herbaceous vines of the genus Smilax are known as carrion flowers. These plants have a cluster of small greenish flowers. The most familiar member of this groups is Smilax herbacea. These plants are sometimes placed in the genus Nemexia.



Bulbophyllum (Orchid)

Orchids of the genus Bulbophyllum produce flowers which smell of rotting meat. The flowers produce various odors resembling sap, urine, blood, dung, carrion, and, in some species, fragrant fruity aromas. Most are fly-pollinated, and attract hordes of flies. Bulbophyllum beccarii in bloom has been likened to smelling like a herd of dead elephants as well as Bulbophyllum fletcherianum and Bulbophyllum phalaenopsis. They are variously described as making it difficult to walk into a greenhouse in which they are being cultivated if the plants are in bloom because of their overpowering floral odors.

giant bat in the world



Megabats constitute the suborder Megachiroptera, and its only family Pteropodidae of the order Chiroptera (bats). They are also called fruit bats, Old World fruit bats,or, especially the genera Acerodon and Pteropus, flying foxes. Fruit bats are restricted to the Old World in a tropical and subtropical distribution, ranging no further than the eastern Mediterranean and South Asia, and are absent from northwest Africa and southwest Australia.Compared to insectivorous bats, fruit bats are relatively large and, with some exceptions, do not navigate by echolocation. They are herbivores and rely on their keen senses of sight and smell to locate food

tallest skyscraper in the world

top 50 tallest skyscraper record
This list of tallest buildings in the world ranks skyscrapers by height. Only buildings with continuously occupiable floors are included, thus non-building structures, including towers, are not included. 
This list includes all buildings (completed and architecturally topped out) which reach a height of 300 metres (984 ft) or more as assessed by their highest architectural feature. As of 2015, seven of the last eight buildings to have held the record as 'tallest building in the world' are still found in the list, with the North Tower of the original World Trade Center being the exception after its destruction in the September 11 attacks of 2001.

biggest women in the world, very huge and fat girls


Fattest Women in the World



There has always been people weighing a lot more than what's called normal body weight, but here's the list of fattest women in the world that is sure to leave you in awe.

1.  Carol Yager



Peak Weight: More than 1600 pounds



Carol Yager of Flint, MI was born in 1960. She had been obese since childhood and was at 1189 pounds when she was 33 years old and got admitted to Hurley Center for treatment of cellulitis. She is definitely one of the fattest women in the word. After following a 1200-calorie diet, she lost about 500 pounds, but she regained it quickly after being discharged. She died in 1994 due to massive water retention and signs of incipient kidney failure. So, she must ever be the fattest woman in the world.



2.  Rosalie Bradford



Peak Weight: 1053 pounds



Born in 1943, she started gaining weight in her twenties and tried a number of popular diets but couldn't get any success. She went to the hospital due to a blood infection and this kept her immobile for 8 years. She became so depressed that she attempted to commit suicide – she took painkillers, but that didn't affect her much due to her excessive weight. She died in 2006.



3.  Mayra Rosales



Peak Weight: 1036 pounds



Born in 1980, she was the heaviest woman alive at 1036 pounds, but she has now lost some weight and weighs only 200 pounds now. She was arrested on suspicion of murder her nephew, but medical staff established that the kid died from massive blunt force trauma and Mayra was unable to move her arm at that time. She has now lost more than 800 pounds and appears on different programs to discuss the changes in her weight.



4.  Susanne Eman



Peak Weight: 800 pounds



Susanne Eman is an obese model and weighs 800 pounds, but wants to reach 1,600 pounds. She lost about half her body weight ahead of her scheduled wedding, but her fiancé refused to marry her, because he was not happy with her weight loss. Susanne was also not happy with so much weight loss and started regaining weight. She's now 600 pounds once again, and interestingly, she has found new love too.



5.  Charity Pierce



Peak Weight: Almost 790 pounds



At 39, Charity Pierce has already hit 56.4-stone mark in the past and was one fattest woman in the world. She was completely housebound because the butterfly shaped fat deposits on her body wouldn't let her move around at will. After undergoing a weight-loss surgery that was conducted by Dr. Nowzaradan, she lost 49 pounds. After four months of strenuous training and exercise, she managed to lose another 20 pounds and was at 709 pounds. She wanted to make it even better and kept working on her diet and lifestyle. After 12 months, she was at 587 pounds. She underwent another surgery that removed large masses from her leg, leaving her at 496 pounds. She believes she can continue with her weight loss and be in a position to walk down the aisle with her fiancé.



6.  Teri Smith



Peak Weight: 700 Pounds



At age 49, Terri Smith set world record – she was the fattest girl with a total of 700 pounds of body weight. She was 252 pounds when she was only 20. Now, she's trapped in her bedroom and couldn't even go for an MRI scan to find out reason behind her severe headaches.



7.  Pauline Potter



Peak Weight: 678 pounds



Pauline Potter, the 50-year-old Sacramento, CA, has to be on the list of the fattest woman in the world. She has a headline-grabbing resume that includes appearing on Dr. Phil, appearing on HLN with Dr. Drew, and being named the "World's Heaviest Living Woman" by the Guinness World Records. What made her really popular was her statement that she lost weight by having sex more than seven times a day with her ex-husband, who has already mentioned how difficult it was for him to position her during sex.



8.  Donna Simpson



Peak Weight: 630 pounds



Born in 1967, Donna Simpson wanted to be the world's heaviest woman by achieving more than 1,000 pounds. She weighed 630 pounds in 2008, but moved down to 602 pounds in 2010. She already has the Guinness World Records for the "Heaviest Woman to Give Birth."



9.  Joan Thorpe



Peak Weight: 532 pounds



It all started in her teenage years when her eating spun out of control and she ended up with a whopping 532 pounds of body weight and was Britain's fattest girl. Due to her obesity, she had to undergo a hip replacement surgery when she was only 13. At 18, her doctor told her that she'd live another two months if she wouldn't lose weight. This started a lifelong fight against fluctuating pounds. She lost weight when she was young and reached 131.6 pounds, but it soon changed and she started gaining weight in a few years' time. She received another warning from her doctors in 2013 because she was at 322 pounds. After 50-year weight battle, she has again shrunk to size 18.

Giant Siberian Tiger


very huge tiger siberian

The Siberian tiger (Panthera tigris altaica), also known as the Amur tiger, is a tiger subspecies inhabiting mainly the Sikhote Alinmountain region with a small population in southwest Primorye Province in the Russian Far East. The Siberian tiger once ranged throughout all of Korea, north-eastern China, Russian Far East, and Eastern Mongolia. In 2005, there were 331–393 adult and subadultAmur tigers in this region, with a breeding adult population of about 250 individuals. The population had been stable for more than a decade due to intensive conservation efforts, but partial surveys conducted after 2005 indicate that the Russian tiger population was declining. By 2015, the Siberian tiger population had increased to 480–540 individuals in the Russian Far East, including 100 cubs. A more detailed census revealed a total population of 562 wild Siberian tigers in Russia.
The Siberian tiger and Bengal tiger subspecies rank among the biggest living cats. A comparison of data on body weights of Siberian tigers indicates that up to the first half of the 20th century both males and females were on average heavier than post-1970 ones. Today's wild Siberian tigers are lighter than Bengal tigers. Their reduced weight as compared to historical Siberian tigers may be due to a combination of causes: when captured, they were usually sick or injured and involved in a conflict situation with people.
Results of a phylogeographic study comparing mitochondrial DNA from Caspian tigers and living tiger subspecies indicate that the common ancestor of the Amur and Caspian subspecies colonized Central Asia from eastern China via the Gansu−Silk Road corridor from eastern China, and then subsequently traversed Siberia eastward to establish the Amur tiger population in the Russian Far East.
