whats the biggest living thing on earth?

Answer 1

Bush Junior's ego?

Answer 2

since you said the biggest living "thing" on earth, it can be assumed that you meant the biggest living ORGANISM and not the biggest living ANIMAL (which rules out the bue whale theory). the interconnected root system of aspen groves, redwood trees, and certain types of fungus (the last of which is in the Malheur National Forest in Oregon) form some of the largest organisms on earth, although the line between what is an individual and what is a interconnected colony has never really been drawn in the scientific world - at least not the extent that it should be

Answer 3

The Great Barrier Reef, Off the coast of Australia

This is in theory millions of individual organisms living as one solid mass.

The largest living single animal is the Blue Whale. (Unless the Japanese or Norwegian whalers get there way)

The largest known organism is a giant Redwood Tree in California.

So all three are correct, just depends which one you were after.

Answer 4

Answer 6

Since you said living thing, not mammal or even animal, my answer would have to be a fungus. They say that there is one fungus that spans across the entire United States. The part you actually see is the fruity body, which pops up above ground. The rest is spread throughout the soil across the continent. Thus my hypothesis is that a fungus is the biggest "living" thing on earth.
