Terror! Inventory of nature's top ten giant animals: these animals should be refined!

1. There are kangaroos in Gambia

In some countries, the giant Gambia has kangaroos that can be used to help detect mines. But in the Florida archipelago, the 9-pound, 3-foot-long rat brought disaster. Since about 2000, kangaroos in Gambia were brought into Florida by pet breeders, their number has increased greatly, and even posed a threat to crops. In 2012, kangaroos in Gambia once again flooded Florida.

2. Giant snail

In 2011, more than 115000 African giant snails invaded southern Florida. These giant snails enter sidewalks and residential courtyards and even climb up walls. They have an insatiable appetite and eat almost everything in front of them, whether it's plants, tires or paint. They can spread the lung nematode to humans, causing meningitis.

3. Big mosquito

The large mosquito (gallinipper) is many times larger than the common mosquito. They are not only able to reproduce rapidly, but also very aggressive. They are looking for food 24 hours a day. They can not only bite clothes, pets and fish, but also spread diseases. Entomologists at the University of Florida have warned that if this summer is as wet as ever, big mosquitoes will flood Florida.

4. Burmese python

Burmese pythons can be up to 12 feet long. After entering Everglades National Park in Florida, the giant boa constrictor's population soared as it preyed on alligators. How to control the number of these invasive mangrove snakes has always been a difficult problem. Now, an estimated 5000 to 100000 Burmese pythons are scurrying around the Everglades National Park, swallowing endangered animals and causing ecological disasters.

5. Asian Tiger Shrimp

Asian tiger prawns are huge and kill each other. Asian tiger prawns are nocturnal and feed on smaller shrimps. Normally, these tiger shrimps live in the Indian Ocean and Pacific Ocean, but in 2011, Asian tiger shrimps also appeared in the Gulf of Mexico and Southeast waters of the United States. Scientists don't know how they arrived. Their arrival poses a threat to the local aquatic ecosystem.

6. Big goldfish

In February, researchers from the University of Nevada found a giant goldfish in Lake Tahoe, which they speculated was the result of a nearby aquarium owner dumping the goldfish in the lake. Now, scientists are studying the giant goldfish because they disrupt the fragile ecosystem of Lake Tahoe.

7. Sugarcane toad

Cane toads are huge and ugly, weighing up to four pounds. Sugarcane toads were introduced to Australia in 1935 to control the breeding of sugarcane beetles. Now, the original 102 sugarcane toads have increased to more than 200 million, posing a huge threat to the local ecology and public health.

8. Oriental locust

The Oriental grasshopper is a large grasshopper of the eastern United States. Insecticides have no effect on the East locusts, and they can also produce toxic foam. In 2002, a large group of Oriental locusts from Big Bend National Park in Florida attacked Central Florida, causing great damage to the local vegetation.

9. Parawixiabistriata spider

In February 2013, a group of parawixiabistriata spiders flew over the town of Santo antonioda platina in Brazil, becoming a spectacle. The spiders, called parawixiabistriata, are large and strong enough to weave huge webs.

10. Giant jellyfish

Nomura jellyfish is a giant jellyfish, the diameter is generally more than 1 meter, some jellyfish even up to 2-3 meters, is the largest jellyfish in the world. Nomura jellyfish can not only block fishing nets, but also endanger the safety of swimmers, and sometimes even lead to the shutdown of nuclear power plants. Since 2005, Nomura jellyfish have drifted to the sea of Japan, causing great harm to local fish and fishermen.
