The "mega" coral is 112-feet wide, 105-feet long and 18-feet high, making it larger than a blue whale, the world's largest animal.

Researchers have made a gargantuan discovery that’s as large as two basketball courts, visible from space, at least 300 years old and brimming with marine life: It’s the world’s largest coral, found in the southwest Pacific Ocean.

Now, the largest coral ever recorded has been discovered, scientists said Thursday, and it’s so big it can be seen from space. It was found by a National Geographic team conducting an expedition in the Solomon Islands in October to study ocean health.
