By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A regulation golf ball 46 g

   The dimples — usually 300 to 500 of them — cut drag so effectively that a smooth ball would fly only about half as far.

2. A large chicken egg 57 g

   An eggshell has up to 8,000 microscopic pores, letting the developing chick breathe right through the shell.

3. The FIFA World Cup Trophy 6.2 kg

   Winners only keep a gold-plated replica; the 18-karat original stays with FIFA and gets each champion engraved on its base.

4. The Liberty Bell 943 kg

   Its famous crack was widened on purpose — an 1846 repair meant to stop the fracture instead ruined the bell's tone for good.

5. A southern elephant seal bull 3 t

   Bulls can outweigh females several times over — among the most extreme size gaps of any mammal — and dive 1,500 m deep.

6. An adult male sperm whale 45 t

   Its clicks reach about 230 decibels — the loudest animal sound on Earth — and a third of its body is one giant sonar-focusing nose.
