Size It Up Animals answer: October 14
The five Animals silhouettes for October 14, 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 41 ran from a ruby-throated hummingbird (9 cm) to a tyrannosaurus rex (12 m). The widest gap was round 4, Polar Bear against Tyrannosaurus rex, at 5.0×; the closest call was round 5, Bengal Tiger against Moose, only 1.0× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
