现代发现的巨型动物列表
维基媒体列表条目
以下是自19世纪初以来科学发现的巨型动物的列表(以及它们各自的发现日期)。其中一些可能是原住民已知的或已报导的轶事,但是在获得正式研究的确凿证据之前还没有得到科学界的普遍承认。在其他情况下,某些动物最初被认为是恶作剧——类似于在18世纪晚期欧洲的鸭嘴兽标本。[1]
巨型动物的定义各不相同,但此列表包括了一些更值得注意的例子。

The first living coelacanth (Latimeria chalumnae) was discovered in 1938 when marine biologists hailed the fish as a "living fossil" - an animal that has existed virtually unchanged since it first appeared over 400 million years ago.
