Size It Up Animals answer: August 1

The five Animals silhouettes for August 1, 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 capybara (1.2 m) to a blue whale (27 m). The widest gap was round 4, Giraffe against Blue Whale, at 4.9×; the closest call was round 5, Moose against Holstein Cow, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Bottlenose Dolphin vs Capybara

    Capybara · reference · 1.2 m
    Bottlenose Dolphin · true length · 2.8 m

    2.3× longer than the capybara

    A bottlenose dolphin is about 2.8 m long and can swim at 30 km/h.

  2. ROUND 2

    Greater Flamingo vs Saltwater Crocodile (Male)

    Saltwater Crocodile · reference · 5 m
    Greater Flamingo · true height · 1.3 m

    3.8× shorter than the saltwater crocodile

  3. ROUND 3

    Bald Eagle vs Common Raven

    Common Raven · reference · 1.2 m
    Bald Eagle · true wingspan · 2.2 m

    A bald eagle's wingspan is about 2.2 m.

  4. ROUND 4

    Giraffe (Male) vs Blue Whale (Average Adult)

    Blue Whale · reference · 27 m
    Giraffe · true height · 5.5 m

    4.9× shorter than the blue whale

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

  5. ROUND 5

    Moose (Bull) vs Holstein Cow

    Holstein Cow · reference · 2.5 m
    Moose · true length · 2.7 m

    1.1× longer than the Holstein cow
