Size It Up Animals answer: October 8
The five Animals silhouettes for October 8, 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 35 ran from a clownfish (11 cm) to a saltwater crocodile (5 m). The widest gap was round 2, Saltwater Crocodile against Red Fox, at 7.1×; the closest call was round 5, Wandering Albatross against Andean Condor, only 1.1× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
