Size It Up Animals answer: September 10
The five Animals silhouettes for September 10, 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.
Day 7 ran from a rock pigeon (33 cm) to a blue whale (27 m). The widest gap was round 5, Humpback Whale against Common Raven, at 12×; the closest call was round 2, Velociraptor against White-tailed Deer, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
