Their official name is Giant African land snails, and more than 117,000 have been found since late 2011 - with over a thousand more found each week!

And unlike another problem Florida had in the past - you can't fix this one with a recount!

Ever hear those stories about giant crocodiles living in the sewers of New York City??

The myth says that people get them as exotic pets, but when they start to get too big, they flush them down the toilet.

That's all just a myth, as far as we know, but it's the same principal that's leading to giant goldfish in lake Tahoe!!

Apparently people must be dumping their goldfish into the lake when they don't want them anymore.

Because of all the open space and a steady supply of food, the goldfish are growing to monstrous proportions.

Some of them have almost reached 1.5 feet long!!

They are thriving and breeding rapidly, and experts worry that it may drastically change the ecosystem of the lake.

Check out the video (above) to hear how they could seriously affect the lake!

Call up the world record books!

Because this pup has definitely broken a record or two.

A new picture features a puppy with a GIANT leaf in its mouth, and we can't for the life of us comprehend how such a tiny adorable thing can hold something so big so easily.

And for anyone who claims dogs are dumb - better think again!

This pup knows the magnitude of what it has accomplished - just check out that smug look on the puppy's face.

He or she knows what they did!

And now so do you!!!
