Size It Up Animals answer: July 29

The five Animals silhouettes for July 29, with the true sizes. If you have not played yet, this page is a spoiler — play these five first, then come back to argue with the numbers.

This pre-launch puzzle ran from a house mouse (8 cm) to a sperm whale (16 m). The widest gap was round 5, Velociraptor against House Mouse, at 25×; the closest call was round 2, Sperm Whale against Megalodon, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Red Kangaroo (Male) vs Komodo Dragon

    Komodo Dragon · reference · 3 m
    Red Kangaroo · true height · 1.6 m

    1.9× shorter than the Komodo dragon

    A male red kangaroo stands about 1.6 m tall.

  2. ROUND 2

    Sperm Whale (Male) vs Megalodon

    Megalodon · reference · 16 m
    Sperm Whale · true length · 16 m

    1.0× longer than the megalodon

    A bull sperm whale runs about 16 m, a third of that being head.

  3. ROUND 3

    Giraffe (Male) vs Capybara

    Capybara · reference · 1.2 m
    Giraffe · true height · 5.5 m

    4.6× taller than the capybara

    A male giraffe stands about 5.5 m tall — it can look into a second-floor window.

  4. ROUND 4

    Polar Bear (Male) vs Common Raven

    Common Raven · reference · 1.2 m
    Polar Bear · true length · 2.4 m

    2.0× longer than the common raven

    A male polar bear is about 2.4 m long.

  5. ROUND 5

    Velociraptor vs House Mouse (Body)

    House Mouse · reference · 8 cm
    Velociraptor · true length · 2 m

    25× longer than the house mouse

    A real Velociraptor was about 2 m long and turkey-sized at the hip — feathered, not the film version.
