Baby animals are cute, aren't they? We totally melt when we come across a series of images that show the face of certain animals as they begin life. Besides the grace, what certainly catches our attention is the small size of the little animals.

However, Oddee's selection of giant pets proves that the opposite can also be equally cute. With surprising proportions, this list features a cat, dog, turtle, fish and other animals of size you never imagined.

With a few pounds left or many inches more, these pets break records in their categories and prove to us that love has no size. Be sure to check it out!

1) Cat

• Name: Ulric
• Dorchester, England
• Weight: 13.6 pounds

Ulric is a Norwegian Forest Cat that is twice the size expected of this type of animal. Weighing in at an impressive 13 pounds, Ulric is the biggest cat ever to pass the fitness competition hosted by the British institution PDSA. And it seems that overweight is a genetic trait of the animal, which reached the mark of 7.7 pounds at only 1 year and 3 months old.

Another problem is that Ulric likes to eat and his owner, Jan Mitchell, tells him that he rushes to his sister's pet food jar when he is not satisfied. Overweight was the main reason for the cat joining 20 more animals suffering from obesity to participate in a six-month program that includes a balanced diet and regular exercise to make them live a better life.

2) Fish

• Name: Goldie
• Origin: Kent, England
• Size: 38cm

The largest goldfish title in England belongs to Goldie, which was 38 inches long, 12 inches wide and weighed 900 grams in 2008. The most curious thing is that Goldie was bought by its owner for only 99 cents and 15 years later, the animal grew only 2.5 centimeters.

Even with a size that fills your eyes compared to other animals of its kind, Goldie is not the biggest goldfish the world has ever seen. The world record belongs to Joris Gijsbers of the Netherlands and his fish, which in 2003 averaged 47.4 centimeters.

3) Rabbit

• Name: Ralph
• Origin: England
• Weight: 24.9 pounds

Listed in the Book of Records as the biggest rabbit in the world in 2010, Ralph wants to regain his title in 2013, high on his nearly 25 pounds. Surprisingly, the animal consumes about $ 90 in food per week. Your meals include cabbage, broccoli, corn, cucumber, carrots, wholemeal bread, apple, watercress and savory crackers.

But what guarantees all this size is the lineage of giants to which Ralph belongs. Her mother, Amy, was the world record holder until she died of a heart attack four years ago.

4) Dog

• First name: Zeus
• Origin: Michigan, United States
• Size: 1.11 meter

Zeus is the German dog that has just taken over the position of largest dog in the world, 1.11 meters tall, which can reach 2.2 meters when he stands. Denise Doorlag, the animal's owner, says Zeus's size is impressive and the animal is often mistaken for a horse when taken for a walk around the city.

Zeus broke the record that belonged to Giant George, another dog of the German dog breed, by only 2.5 centimeters and became the largest dog of all time.

5) Turtle

• Name: Sammy
• Origin: San Francisco, United States
• Weight: 52.1 pounds

Sammy is an African Spurred Tortoise that impresses with being a pet over 52 pounds. In addition to the fame of its size, the tortoise is also known to belong to Colin Rand Kaepernick, the quarterback of the NFL-playing San Francisco 49ers.

When she won her parents' tortoise, Kaepernick was 10 years old and Sammy fit in the palm of his hand. Fifteen years later, the tortoise has grown absurdly in size and today feeds on clovers, apples and green leaves.

6) Capybara

• Name: Gary
• Origin: Texas, United States
• Weight: 50.8 pounds

Who ever imagined that a capybara could be a pet? For the couple Melanie Typaldos and Richard Loveman, there is nothing strange about having a giant rodent walking around the house. At over 50 pounds, Gary is the largest pet rodent ever recorded in the world.

Easily found in South America, capybaras love to swim. For this reason, the couple had to build a swimming pool for Gary, who now lives happily among other animals - such as horses, rabbits, turtles, dogs and cats - who are part of the family.

7) Raccoon

• Name: Bandit
• Pennsylvania, United States
• Weight: 34 pounds

Bandit earned his fame for winning the fastest raccoon title in the world in 1999, when he weighed only 23.8 pounds. Over time, Bandit was found to have a thyroid problem, which caused him to gain a lot of weight.

As soon as it was born, the raccoon was raised by a female dog along with her young. Only a short time later Bandit was adopted by Deborah Klitsch and taken to Pennsylvania. The animal died in 2004 weighing 34 pounds and went down in history as the largest raccoon ever recorded.
