Size It Up Animals answer: October 28
The five Animals silhouettes for October 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 55 ran from a moon jellyfish (29 cm) to a megalodon (16 m). The widest gap was round 4, Megalodon against Bull Shark, at 7.1×; the closest call was round 5, Komodo Dragon against Greater Flamingo, only 2.3× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
