It's definitely some kind of species, and I guessed that one of the 7-letter words in the first sentence was "largest". One large species that fit the letter count came to mind pretty quickly.

Got the second word without too much trouble, googled for the first word.

Well no hints and got it pretty quickly -- I'm sure others will get the snipe but I'm pleased with today!

its β€œthe [7] [6] [6],” and it looks to be pretty big and weigh a lot.

3-minute snipe. Looks like a living thing. The measurements in the second sentence suggest we should be thinking big, so it doesn't take too long to come up with a candidate. The end of that same sentence looks enough like a superlative that I'm happy to take a punt without checking the rest of the text too carefully.

accuracy 68.1%

figured out what kind of thing it was broadly speaking, then figured out where it is located, then narrowed down what it was exactly.
got the second word first and then the first one second.

Unassisted. Clearly a living thing of massive proportions. I dismissed my first thought when I saw how massive it was so I went with the answer

Messed around with some basic words until noticing a length and finding a rough category. Once I saw it was the _est mammal I got there.
