Size It Up Animals answer: November 1
The five Animals silhouettes for November 1, 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 59 ran from a ruby-throated hummingbird (9 cm) to a sperm whale (16 m). The widest gap was round 5, Big-belly Seahorse against White Rhinoceros, at 11×; the closest call was round 3, Green Anaconda against Giant Manta Ray, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
