Size It Up Animals answer: October 7
The five Animals silhouettes for October 7, 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 34 ran from a guppy (3.5 cm) to a gray whale (15.2 m). The widest gap was round 4, Dodo against Ruby-throated Hummingbird, at 7.0×; the closest call was round 3, Black Widow Spider against Guppy, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
