If you like big things, than you’ll love these photos. Just like every one of us, nature goes over-board every once in a while. Here are some examples of over-grown animals and plants, some cute, some scary and some just plain disgusting:
As if Dubai’s 7-stars Burj al Arab Hotel wasn’t wonderful enough, the wealthy Arab sheics have created an even greater architectural wonder, the Atlantis. It cost over 1,5 billion dollars to build, but the investors are confident that they will recover their investment in just a few years, and at a minimum of $1,000 per room/night, they just might. The theme rooms, like Poseidon and Neptune go up to $8,000-$10,000 a night. Built on the artificial island known as The Palm, Atlantis has 1373 room, 166 apartments, a giant fish-tank with 65,000 fish, a 170,000 square meters aqua park, artificial beaches, a lagoon and even an artificial river. Plenty of reasons to visit…if you can afford it.
At 6 feet and 5 inches, Samson is by far the largest dog in the United Kingdom. Don’t worry though, this “puppy’s” bark is a lot worse than his bite, he’s what you’d call a harmless giant that loves to be petted even by strangers. A cross between a Great Dane and a Newfoundland, Samson is about the size of a small horse and even wears a raincoat meant for one, because, like his owners say “Such a large dog getting soaking wet wouldn’t smell very nice.” Samson is only three years old and will continue to grow even more and the owners fear that soon they’ll be forced to get a bigger house. the current one is already pretty shaken up from the dog’s loud snoring.
