Size It Up Animals answer: August 4

The five Animals silhouettes for August 4, 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 rock pigeon (33 cm) to a whale shark (12 m). The widest gap was round 1, Horse against European Rabbit, at 6.0×; the closest call was round 3, Plains Zebra against Walrus, only 1.4× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.

  1. ROUND 1

    Horse (Thoroughbred) vs European Rabbit

    European Rabbit · reference · 40 cm
    Horse · true length · 2.4 m

    6.0× longer than the European rabbit

    A Thoroughbred is about 2.4 m long from nose to tail base.

  2. ROUND 2

    Grizzly Bear vs Red Fox

    Red Fox · reference · 70 cm
    Grizzly Bear · true length · 2 m

    2.9× longer than the red fox

    A grizzly bear is about 2 m long on all fours.

  3. ROUND 3

    Plains Zebra vs Walrus (Bull)

    Walrus · reference · 3.2 m
    Plains Zebra · true length · 2.3 m

    1.4× shorter than the walrus

    A plains zebra is about 2.3 m from nose to rump — horse-sized, and no two stripe patterns match.

  4. ROUND 4

    Gray Wolf vs Rock Pigeon

    Rock Pigeon · reference · 33 cm
    Gray Wolf · true length · 1.2 m

    3.6× longer than the rock pigeon

    A gray wolf is about 1.2 m long, nose to tail base.

  5. ROUND 5

    Orca vs Whale Shark

    Whale Shark · reference · 12 m
    Orca · true length · 7 m

    1.7× shorter than the whale shark

    An orca is about 7 m long — a dolphin the size of a minibus.
