Largest Land Animals In Each Country

Enter the common or scientific name of the species. Semi-aquatic mammals (marked in blue), Bats (marked in red) and birds with very limited flight (marked in purple) included. Some countries are greyed out due to poor or conflicting information Tried to make the weights and lengths specific to the local populace of the species per country/region (Reptiles other than crocodilians are measured by SVL)

Extant animals only (including introduced as long as they are wild)

Average weight and length based on males for consistency

Snakes are omitted as the lengths of most species are very widly over exaggerated and a lot of the data is poorly sourced.

Wild animals only (no cattle, domesticated horses, etc.) (also no humans)
