Size It Up Animals answer: November 5
The five Animals silhouettes for November 5, 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 63 ran from a honeybee (1.3 cm) to a shonisaurus (13.5 m). The widest gap was round 5, Elasmosaurus against Alpine Ibex, at 7.4×; the closest call was round 4, Honeybee against Freshwater Shrimp, only 1.2× apart — the kind of round that separates a 90 from a 60.
