The largest predators in the world. The most powerful animals in the world Who is the small and strong beast
10.
Reveals the top ten most powerful animals in the world. The formidable predator is one of the largest among its relatives. The body length of a grizzly bear can reach 4 meters and weight more than 700 kg. The beast is also one of the most dangerous animal species, which poses a potential threat to humans. And it’s not surprising, because a bear is not averse to eating meat and can easily kill an animal that is larger than it. A grizzly bear is capable of lifting objects equal to its body weight. When hunting, it can reach speeds of up to 60 km/h.

Not only the largest land animal, but also the strongest. The weight of the inhabitant of tropical forests and savannas is about 7 tons, and the body length can reach up to 7.5 meters. With its powerful trunk, the animal is able to lift an object that exceeds its own weight by 1.7 times. This unique organ is a well-developed muscle and tendon system. With its help, an elephant can easily uproot trees, carry logs, and even lift a car into the air without any difficulty for this giant. In addition, an elephant can easily lift small objects with its trunk. The maximum speed that the animal can develop is 48 km/h.

The most powerful feline in the world. The predatory beast has quite impressive dimensions: it reaches 3.5 meters in length and weighs 300 kg. When chasing prey, the animal can reach speeds of up to 65 km/h. Therefore, the tiger is also one of the ten fastest animals on earth. The predator is capable of killing its prey with one blow of its paw. He is able to carry prey that is twice his weight. Often wild boars, deer, roe deer, elk, buffalo and other artiodactyls fall into the clutches of the formidable tiger.

The most powerful animal in the world among birds. A born predator, it has powerful wings with a wingspan reaching 2 meters. The bird has very strong limbs with tenacious claws, in which it carries prey weighing 4 times its own weight. The crowned eagle preys on animals the size of a monkey or even a small antelope. Winged predators hunt very large animals in pairs: one scares the victim, and the other attacks. The eagle carries its prey to the nest, where it eats it completely. If the caught animal turns out to be very large, then the bird tears it into pieces and carries it piece by piece to its nest.

It is considered the most powerful animal in the world from the order of primates. An adult can reach 2 meters in height and weigh up to 250 kg. Its impressive size and well-developed muscles allow the gorilla to lift objects that are 10 times its own body weight. In addition, the animal is capable of dealing with such a powerful beast as a tiger. Despite the fact that the animal is capable of moving on its hind legs, it prefers to do so on all fours. This is one of the reasons why gorillas have such trained forelimbs.

It is the strongest animal among reptiles. These large lizards, more than 4 meters long, have very strong jaws, the pressure of which when biting is more than 2 tons per square inch. A crocodile can bite through the body of an adult the first time. The maximum speed that the reptile is capable of when chasing prey on land is 17 km/h.

It ranks fourth among the most powerful animals in the world. It got its name because of its ability to process leaves. Ants grind plants into small pieces with their powerful jaws, moisten them with their saliva and store them. This way they prepare the soil for growing mushrooms, which the entire colony will feed on. Therefore, leaf cutters also have a second name: mushroom ants.
Ants are not only very hardworking and organized, but also very strong. One such small creature is capable of carrying an object that exceeds its own weight 50 times at a time. Ordinary ants carry a mass exceeding only 20 times their own weight.

Reveals the top three most powerful animals in the world. A medium-sized insect lifts a mass that can exceed its own weight by 1,100 times. If we draw an analogy with a person, this is equivalent to the fact that he could lift six buses filled with people. The weight of the beetle is no more than 2 grams, and the length of the shell can reach 2.5 cm. Its main food is dung, which it finds thanks to its developed sense of smell. The beetle is able to form a ball of 50 grams from humus and transfer it to its burrow, the depth of which can be more than half a meter. This dung ball lasts for about 12 hours for an insect. After the ball is eaten, the beetle goes for a new portion.

He is one of the most powerful living creatures on Earth. They live in soil where their population is more than hundreds of thousands per square meter. These mites are so small that they cannot be seen with the naked eye. But despite this, microscopic creatures are capable of lifting weights that exceed their own 1000 times. Such indicators are equivalent to the fact that a person with his size could lift 80 tons. Oribatid mites are of great importance: these workers, through their activities, contribute to soil formation.
1. Copepod
![](https://i1.wp.com/top10a.ru/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/1%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BF%D0%BE%D0%B4.jpg)
The ranking of the most powerful animals in the world is topped. The size of the sea water inhabitant, from 1 mm to 1 cm, does not prevent him from being the planet's record holder among strongmen. The copepod has very well developed muscles, which help it gain incredible speed for its size - 6 km/h. In one second, he moves a distance 500 times the length of his body. The strength that his legs can develop is ten times greater than that of other animals. If a person could run with the same strength, then his speed would be 2,000 km/h! Thus, it is not only the strongest creature on the planet, but also the fastest. For scientists, copepods are an object of constant study. Similar to their incredible locomotion abilities, engineers want to create devices to explore the depths of the sea.
Ecology
10) Tarantula spider
Tarantulas are some of the most feared living creatures in the world, and for good reason. These creatures not only have an impressive size, but are very skillful and silent hunters, so not a single small animal manages to escape from their tenacious clutches.
The spider knows a lot about hunting and knows how to wait. He patiently waits for his unfortunate victim, and as soon as she is within his reach, he quickly pounces on her without warning, leaving no chance of survival.
The tarantula's body reaches up to 13 centimeters in diameter, and the paw span can be up to 30 centimeters. They very quickly immobilize the prey by squeezing it with their poisonous teeth, then shower the victim with their gastric juice and greedily eat the delicacy.
9) Black Mamba
Most of the frightening animals are found in Africa, including the black mamba, a giant venomous snake that can be found in the southeastern part of the continent. It gets its name from the black skin on the inside of its mouth, which it opens before striking its prey.
These reptiles are usually quite timid, but can be extremely aggressive if disturbed. If they do attack, they try to hit their prey multiple times, injecting their deadly venom, which consists of a neurotoxin and a cardiotoxin. In the past, the bite of a black mamba was fatal in all cases. Today, fatalities are much less common, thanks to the fact that people have found an antidote that is used wherever they encounter a black mamba.
8) Piranha fish
Among all the fish in the world, the piranha has a very bad reputation, with the exception of a few other marine predators. Just one look at the sharp teeth and powerful jaws of a piranha will make your skin crawl. Known throughout the world for its aggressive predatory behavior, the piranha lives in the fresh water of South America.
The fish usually feed at dawn or dusk, swarming the water in anticipation of small animals that may be nearby. As soon as a living creature is in the water, the fish strike without warning and devour the victim with such ferocity that is unusual for any inhabitant of fresh water bodies. In some cases, fish can form hunting groups and attack much larger prey, including horses, capybaras and even humans. It is clear that it is better not to swim in such reservoirs.
7) Wolf
Most of the most dangerous predators are loners, preferring to rely only on their own strength in order to get their food. But as for ordinary wolves, the success of their hunt depends on the overall efforts of the pack.
The hunt of wolves begins with the fact that members of the pack begin to pursue the prey, which is forced to flee. The dominant male is hunting, and the dominant female is somewhere nearby. As soon as the prey accidentally trips and falls, the pack immediately surrounds it and kills it.
6) Komodo dragon
The largest of all lizards, the Komodo dragon is a large reptile that can weigh around 150 kilograms and reach a length of over 3 meters. This predator has a lot of advantages that it uses in hunting: speed, strength and the ability to kill prey twice its size. The bite of monitor lizards is toxic, so if the victim manages to escape from the jaws of the predator, its life is short-lived.
The Komodo dragon prefers to wait for prey in ambush, but if necessary, it can run fast and swim well. Moreover, their incredible hunting abilities were developed due to their impressive ability to consume meat. At one time, the monitor lizard eats game that is only half its weight.
5) Crocodile
There is nothing more terrible than a predator that quietly waits for prey underwater, merging with the environment, quietly watching the prey, waiting for the right moment to attack. This is how a crocodile, a very secretive and bloodthirsty predator, hunts.
With their powerful jaws and sharp teeth, crocodiles catch a huge variety of animals. Some species, for example, the Nile crocodile, can take down even very large prey: a zebra or buffalo. Usually the crocodile waits motionless at the surface of the water until the animal comes to drink. Suddenly he attacks, grabs him with his tenacious teeth and drags the poor victim under water. Then he begins to forcefully rotate his head from side to side until he bites off a piece of meat.
4) Orca
English name for killer whale Killer Whale translated as "Killer whale", from which it is clear that this animal is a rather dangerous predator that combines impeccable knowledge of the secrets of hunting and impressive physical strength. Killer whales know a range of skillful hunting techniques, which is why they have the richest diet of any marine predator. For example, they love seals and penguins, which they grab underwater.
There are also cases when, in pursuit of fur seals, killer whales could even wash ashore. Being social animals, killer whales prefer to live in the backwaters with dozens of relatives, hunting in a group. Some of them even manage to catch and eat other dangerous predators, such as white sharks.
3) Grizzly bear
The grizzly bear, also known as the brown bear, is one of the most dangerous animals in North America. The ferocious predator can rise on its hind legs and reach a height of up to 2 meters and weighs 400 kilograms! The powerful paws and huge jaws of a bear can kill a person. The bear has the ability to feed on a variety of animals, including large mammals. Grizzlies swim very well and run fast.
If you come face to face with this predator in the wild, trouble cannot be avoided, but it is best to stand up to your full height and not allow the beast to escape. Animals can reach speeds of up to 65 kilometers per hour, and if you try to escape, you can provoke the animal’s hunting instinct.
2) Leo
The animal, known to everyone as the “king of beasts,” received this nickname well deservedly. Lions hunt some of the largest animals: buffalo and wildebeest. Part of the success of lions hunting is their ability to work together. Lions live in social groups called prides, all of whose members take part in the hunt.
Young lions learn to take their place in a pride from an early age. They are played with hunting to develop skills that will be useful to them in adulthood and which will help them determine what role is best for them to fill. Lions do not always hunt successfully; they are more often followed by failures, but given the size of the prey and its strength, we can say that lions are excellent hunters.
1) White shark
Any living creature that has the misfortune of being spotted by a shark has little chance of survival. This fish is the number 1 predator as it has the most remarkable hunting abilities. Thanks to its streamlined body shape and powerful jaws, the white shark has great advantages as a hunter: it moves very quickly and makes agile maneuvers, and can jump out of the water, hitting its prey.
The white shark has many rows of sharp teeth. If a shark loses at least one tooth, a new one, no less sharp, will grow in its place in the very near future. In fact, a shark can have up to 50 thousand teeth replacing each other over the course of its life!
White sharks usually begin an attack with one tentative bite. Then the shark waits until the victim weakens due to the wound, then attacks again and begins to eat it. This technique allows the predator to feed without any danger to itself, since the victim at first simply does not have time to strike back, and then simply does not have the strength to do so.
What exactly determines the strength of an animal? Is it really all limited solely to the ability to lift weights that significantly exceed your body weight? When compiling the rating the most powerful animals in the world, a lot of different factors and individual characteristics are taken into account. As a result, it was concluded that the only thing that unites all the animals on the list is unbridled power hundreds of times greater than that of humans.
10. African elephant
Representatives of this species are distinguished by the fact that they are capable of carrying an object weighing up to nine tons with their trunk, which is the equivalent of the mass of 130 human individuals. In addition, it is almost impossible to knock an elephant down; it is extremely resilient, even when attacked by several predators at the same time. Don’t forget that an elephant’s trunk is very elastic, so the best term for comparison with objects in the human world would be a huge bat, which you can easily control as if it were your hand, because it is also a part of your body.
9.
It is not for nothing that American cinema has repeatedly told us the story of King Kong, a colossal humanoid primate, because even an ordinary tropical gorilla is capable of killing several people with ease, with his bare hands, which is why he was awarded the penultimate place in the top ten most powerful animals on the planet. If you ever have a minute of free time, spend it watching male gorillas fight for a female. You will not be able to see anything like this in any, even the most brutal, sport, since they are all limited to techniques and the ring, when the battlefield for gorillas is any place in the jungle, and the only tool is brute force.
8.
Although bears are not considered titans, because they are able to lift only a weight identical to the mass of their own body, few doubt their strength. The whole secret is in the peculiar grace of a bear, demonstrating that a seemingly clumsy animal in a fight is able to evade the strongest blows, and also develops a speed of up to 40 kilometers per hour, which is quite good for its mass. Therefore, the statement that it is useless to run or hide from a bear will never become outdated - it is capable of opening the steel of your car with its claws with the same ease as you open a can of canned food.
7.
And among the animals domesticated by humans there are strongmen, among whom the ox stands out, capable of carrying weight up to one ton, which is one and a half times more than it weighs itself. Horns are also used; when representatives of this species collide with their foreheads, they strike with a force identical to a blacksmith’s blow on a red-hot sword, and sometimes even exceeding it, while remaining absolutely unharmed thanks to the durable skull, as well as a special anatomical structure that allows them to survive shocks of almost any power . For such physical characteristics, the ox was awarded a place in the ranking of the most powerful animals in the world.
6.
The heroes of the films, who found themselves in the Amazon jungle, repeatedly encountered this incredibly strong snake. Not only can she swallow and digest any animal weighing up to a quarter of a ton, but her muscles are located in such a way that breaking all the bones of a conventional gorilla will not require much effort from her. However, during the course of evolution, the anaconda prefers a different tactic - it strangles its victim, breaking its neck and all its ribs, and then absorbs the already lifeless body.
5.
At the equator of the ranking of the most powerful animals in the world is one of the most powerful representatives of the cat family. Tigers fearlessly attack opponents whose mass is twice their own, which is more than a ton, and it is worth noting the ability to drag the corpse of prey into their territory or even lift it up a tree. Predatory cats gain an advantage in a fight not only due to their impressive physical characteristics, but also due to their reaction, which allows them to quickly put their entire body weight into one blow, most likely fatal to the victim.
4.
We could not ignore one of the most powerful representatives of the bird kingdom, because it is not only capable of lifting a load four times its own weight to bird's-eye height, but also first cope with its prey, using the power of its wings and a sharp beak. It is no secret that hunting eagles is extremely difficult, because they have a phenomenal reaction, and are able to sense a bullet flying at them in the direction of sound waves and abruptly change direction, thereby saving their lives.
3.
The insect representative, which opens the top three in the list of the most powerful animals on the planet, proves that you don’t need to have a huge body to show true strength. Despite its apparent simplicity and inability to withstand even a basic human boot, the dung beetle can lift 1,100 times its mass, making it the leader in the animal world in this regard. For comparison, this is the same as a person lifting 12 buses, and at the same time maintaining the ability to move with them under weight.
2.
The deadliest amphibian has a shocking bite force of two and a half tons. For a crocodile, fallow deer and gazelles are not a problem; they come too close to a pond without noticing any danger. The fact is that crocodiles are masters of camouflage, and the killing of a victim occurs thanks to one lightning-fast throw, which ends with the compression of powerful jaws on the body of the victim, who barely had time to understand what caused the end of her life.
1. Rhinoceros
Rhino gets the title - the strongest animal in the world well deserved. There are several reasons for this. Firstly, rhinoceroses have the greatest bite force of any mammal. Biologists suggest that they are able to bite through even granite 20 mm thick without any problems. Secondly, given their enormous body mass, these animals still retain the ability to accelerate to 50 km/h, which makes a collision with them lethal for any living creature of identical size. And thirdly, rhinoceroses skillfully use their horn, which not only protects them from predators, but also makes it possible to attack them if desired.
Not all the largest animals are the strongest and most dangerous. Of course, most of their huge size predators are quite strong and more resilient than smaller animals. And yet there are some small creatures that have incredible power.
Let's try to determine which is the strongest animal in the world. True, this is not so easy to do. After all, in this case it is necessary to evaluate each representative according to various characteristics: parameters, speed, strength, endurance and others.
The most dangerous insects
Despite their tiny size, some animals pose a danger to people and others. This means they are strong.
In fact, there are many surprisingly small creatures that could be on the list of “Top Most Powerful Animals in the World” or, for example, dangerous for the reason that most of them can simply be carriers of viral infections.
For example, ordinary flies carry approximately 40 million different types of bacteria. Among them there may be dozens of deadly diseases. And mosquitoes pose a danger to people. With their bite, they are capable of transmitting diseases to almost 700 million people a year. At the same time, about several million of them die for sure. But it was all about danger. Below we will talk about strength.
The most powerful animal in the world, top 10
Insects are not so dangerous by their own free will. This is the nature of the spread of most viral diseases. Therefore, we will consider a list of those deadly animals that can cause severe harm to humans and all living things deliberately.
Let's try to decide which of them is the strongest in the world. Moreover, this concept can be applied to different types of animal groups. You can single out the strongest animal, the strongest insect, the strongest bird, the strongest snake or the strongest fish, etc.
For example, the following animals (mammals) are among the strongest: elephants, tigers, oxen, lions, lynxes, gorillas, hippos, etc.
Below we will look at what is the strongest animal in the world. The top 10, regardless of which group or species these creatures belong to, is presented below. Let's consider the rating depending on the strength-weight ratio.
Grizzly
A newborn grizzly bear weighs only about 0.5 kg, but in adulthood it reaches an impressive size (2.5 meters) with a weight of up to 600 kilograms.
The maximum speed at which he can run is 55 km/h. It’s better to stay away from him in any case, the formidable beast can easily catch up with you. It turns out that he is dangerous.
Ox
This animal is capable of lifting a load 1.5 times its body weight - 900 kilograms. This ability is often used by people to carry heavy loads.
Elephant
And this creature is not only the most powerful animal in the world, but also the largest mammal living on land.
At birth, this giant weighs 120 kilograms. And an adult elephant can easily lift a load weighing 9 tons (its body weight is 1.7 times less). But elephants are just herbivores. They live in the wild until they are almost 70 years old.
Tiger
These ferocious and predatory animals are also capable of carrying enormous weights, almost twice the weight of the animals themselves.
The length of an adult tiger can reach more than 3 meters, and its body weight is about 300 kilograms. At the same time, he can run at a speed of 65 km/h. Just one blow from him can kill even an adult cow.
Crowned eagle
This eagle is not only the strongest of all existing birds, but also the most aggressive. The flapping of its wings, capable of killing anyone, reaches a width of 2 meters. This courageous eagle is capable of hunting even large antelopes and monkeys.
Thus, the bird takes pride of place in strength - in the top 10 (the strongest animal in the world) among the largest and strongest.
Gorilla
Of all the apes in existence, the fearsome-looking gorillas also have powerful strength. They can lift large loads weighing 10 times the weight of the monkey itself.
Leafcutter ant
These small ants have no problem dragging the materials they need for housing construction. They are nicknamed leaf cutters due to the fact that they cut the leaves themselves, which they then carry to their home.
While an ordinary ant carries a load exceeding 20 times its own weight, a leaf-cutter ant is capable of lifting a mass exceeding the weight of the insect itself by 50 times.
Rhinoceros beetle
This small insect received a well-deserved 3rd place in the top 10 “the most powerful animal in the world.”
Due to the formation, which is very similar to the horn of a rhinoceros, this beetle received such an interesting name. The rhinoceros beetle, whose size is only 4 centimeters, is capable of carrying and carrying a load with a huge mass - 850 times its own weight.
Dung-beetle
The second place in strength goes to the common dung beetle.
Regardless of the fact that its dimensions range from 1 to 6 centimeters, this insect is capable of carrying a mass of 1141 times its weight, which is equal to the mass of six (double-decker) buses.
In Ancient Egypt, these beetles for people represented the personification of the movement of the Sun.
And finally, the strongest animal in the world (in terms of strength-weight) is the oribati tick. This creature lives almost anywhere, but due to its tiny size, a person is not able to see it without special instruments.
Such a tick lifts a load 1180 times heavier than itself. With this capability, a person could lift an object weighing up to 80 tons.
The oribatid mite completes the list of the 10 most powerful animals in the world.
It is quite possible to include a lion, crocodile, shark and many other animals in the top of the strongest creatures on earth. There can be many such lists depending on the rating criteria.
Questions on similar topics have been repeatedly raised about which of the living beings is stronger. Man has always been interested in finding a worthy rival in the world of fauna or simply finding out out of curiosity who is the strongest on Earth.
The polar bear is a mighty predator: the strongest animal on earth with an amazing and interesting life. The polar bear is the largest predator not only among bears, but among all predators. When a polar bear dives, it can stay underwater for approximately two minutes. The main prey of the polar bear is seals, mostly young individuals; the predator eats about fifty seals per year. Mostly when a wounded bear or mother bear and cub are just trying to escape the chase, although there are exceptions.
Which animal is the strongest in the world? You might immediately think of an elephant, because it is the largest creature on Earth after the blue whale, but is the elephant the strongest on the planet? Does an animal's strength depend on its size and weight? How to determine who is the strongest in the animal world?
Grizzly bears reach a height of 2.5 meters. Naturally, such a healthy bear is very strong, so it’s better not to bother him, because you can’t run away or swim away from him. The largest mammal living on land could not fail to be among the ten most powerful creatures on the planet. The crowned eagle is so dangerous and strong that it is capable of hunting even small antelopes and monkeys. These birds build their nest for about six months, but the most interesting thing is that the eagle can carry prey in its talons, the weight of which is four times the weight of the eagle - 17 kilograms. Of all the monkeys, gorillas have the most menacing appearance, and they are also incredibly strong.
A grizzly bear lifts a weight equal to its own weight. It is known for its power and is very dangerous for humans. Of course, in the ranking of the most powerful animals on Earth there is an elephant. He is not only one of the largest animals, but also one of the strongest. And the weight that an elephant can lift with its trunk is one and a half times the weight of an elephant. An elephant can easily lift a car with its trunk or uproot a tree. Muscular gorillas are capable of lifting ten times their body weight. A gorilla can even win a fight with a tiger. They reach four meters in length. Crocodiles have very developed jaws that can bite through large animals. In the ranking of the most powerful animals on the planet, the copepod can rightfully be given first place.
4th place. Crocodile
The sperm whale is the only predator that can swallow a person whole without even chewing. Nevertheless, sperm whales are not the first to attack people; a scuba diver can swim next to a huge sperm whale without fear. The saltwater crocodile, also known as the saltwater crocodile, is the world's largest species of crocodile and a very dangerous and aggressive predator. Then the English suggested luring the Japanese detachment into the mangrove swamps where saltwater crocodiles lived. The largest of all bears is the polar bear, which lives in the Arctic. The largest species of brown bear, the Kodiak, lives in Alaska and is almost as big as the polar bear.
It is difficult to judge who is stronger, a tiger or a bear; there are different types of these animals. For example, some saber-toothed or Bengal tiger, much stronger than usual, or a Grizzly bear, which is larger and more aggressive than usual. I answer unequivocally: the most powerful beast is the NTR (Invulnerable Tyrannosaurus Rex). It still exists today. A large, thick-skinned and very agile rhinoceros will also most likely leave no chance for a clubfooted one. A seasoned Nile crocodile can reach a length of more than 6 meters and weigh more than a ton; a saltwater crocodile can be even larger. Second place is shared by the brown bear and the tiger. Bronze goes to the lion. Next (in descending order) are large cats - jaguar, leopard and puma, then smaller bears - black and Himalayan. The combed, Orinoco, sharp-snouted and Nile crocodiles will tear apart a tiger on land if it deigns to engage in battle with them. There is no need to turn the striped mattress into the most formidable predator. 1-ELEPHANT, this giant is the strongest land animal; it has no equal on land.
The wild world is amazing and unpredictable. The most dangerous predators often remain virtually invisible until the attack. For example, a Nile crocodile is capable of killing a zebra or even a buffalo. The predator waits for animals that are going to ambush him for a watering hole.
No lone whale can resist a pod of hungry killer whales. But there are many videos of fights between bears and cats that end with the bears fleeing and show how inept bears are in fighting cats. Another interesting predator is the wolverine. To find out WHO is actually stronger: a polar bear, a lion, a sperm whale or someone else, you need to arrange a competition for them. In North America there is a grizzly bear, in Africa there is a lion, at the North Pole there is a polar bear, in the ocean there is a sperm whale.
But if the leopard receives a non-fatal, but crippling injury - for example, suffers from porcupine quills - then the spotted cat has few options for food. 10th place. The family's cute pet, the tailed and devoted dog, suddenly becomes a generator of horror and a creator of chaos in a single family. Or on a street platform. Crocodiles will ambush any idiot who comes into their sight. Hmmm...there is no worse beast than a mosquito! so that I go to Africa of my own free will?
The Komodo dragon is a top predator in its habitat. Homo sapiens is often seen as the premier apex predator of modern times, capable of suppressing competition from local apex predators both on land and in the sea. This behavior is most likely caused by tigers sometimes attacking the Indian porcupine.
This is a polar or white bear. Scientists note that this is an animal with a high level of intelligence that can easily navigate vast icy expanses. This bear hunts all year round.
The most powerful animals in the world
