20 Animals That If Were The Size Of The Whale Would Be 100 Times Scarier Than They Are Now
There really are a lot of creatures in this world that we're glad are existing in such a minuscule size—because let's face it, if ants were the size of elephants, we're doomed right from the very start. We're also glad that most big animals reside underneath the depths of the ocean; because those creatures can be scary as heck!
Imagine a world in reverse: the smallest animals we have now (yes, including the insects) are living a hundred times their original size, or even more. Imagine a world where cats and dogs are as big as whales, just free-roaming in this world like the rightful kings and queens that they are.
Scary, right? Well, a certain someone called u/Grouchy-Trip9582 on Reddit just asked the people of the Internet: "If one animal was made the size of a whale, which would be the scariest?" and of course, people all over the world delivered many entertaining answers that'll leave you thankful that we don't exist in a world where spiders grow to almost a hundred feet in size.
Everything and everyone would've been such a chaotic mess if it were! Just take a look at some of the best answers in the thread:
1. A slime mould cell.
It’s basically an amoeba, so not that scary. One whale-sized blob of cytoplasm that can’t do very much.BUT … every now and then, it’ll join forces with hundreds of thousands of its siblings. They gloop together to form one massive superorganism that’s now no longer the size of a whale; it’s the size of Mount Everest.It then sets off looking for food and digesting everything in its path. It squelches over our farms and cities, digesting them all. The armed forces try to blow it up, but every time they do, it just divides and carries on as before, eating everything and getting bigger. It is unstoppable.Oh, and it’s smart. Capable of navigation, learning, and memory, despite not having a brain or any sensory organs as we know them.It then decides to stop. It produces an armada of spores that disperse on the wind and waters to cover the globe. They return to being a single, whale-sized blob.Until its myriad brethren over the world decide to coalesce again. Because it’s lunchtime.

Imagine the heat they can generate at that size.“The internal low pressure causes a water pulse that immobilizes prey with an associated noise of 218 dB which is louder than a bullet, and reportedly a temperature of 4800 degrees centigrade which is similar to the surface temperature of the sun”

Well, let's just say that we all must be grateful that we live in a world where chimpanzees, honey badgers, and ducks are sized the way they are; we also wouldn't survive a day if mosquitoes are as big as elephants! Our blood will be sucked out in a matter of seconds!
