Size It Up Animals answer: September 28
The five Animals silhouettes for September 28, 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 25 ran from a toco toucan (56 cm) to a basilosaurus (20 m). The widest gap was round 5, Dodo against Basilosaurus, at 32×; the closest call was round 4, Bottlenose Dolphin against Common Raven, only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
