Daily life is full of errands, chores, work, and a million other little things that keep our attention. With everything going on, it’s easy to forget how small our problems really are when compared to the rest of the world. We humans might like to think we’re on top of the world, but we’re actually pretty tiny compared to many other animals, plants, and man-made wonders. Life is all about perspective. If you need some, look no further than these amazing images. We’ve rounded up the most astounding, breathtaking comparisons that remind us how large the world truly is.
#1: Blue Whale vs. Boat
Did you know the blue whale is the largest animal ever to live on planet Earth? It’s no surprise that the scale of this photo is absolutely staggering. This boat, full of sightseers, was lucky enough to sail alongside one of these majestic creatures. You can really see how small we are in comparison to this elusive sea creature.
According to the World Wildlife Fund, the blue whale can weigh up to 400,000 pounds and reach up to 98 feet in length. Sadly, the Antarctic blue whale is critically endangered due to commercial whaling and illegal hunting. Even though they are the largest animals ever to exist, they are still vulnerable to damage caused by humans.
