By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. An adult red fox 5.2 kg

   Red foxes may use Earth's magnetic field to aim their famous pouncing dives — they prefer striking toward the northeast.

2. A standard car tire, without the rim 10 kg

   About a quarter of a tire's mass is not rubber at all — it is steel belts and textile cord hidden inside the carcass.

3. An adult male western lowland gorilla 160 kg

   Silverbacks are several times stronger than a fit human, yet they eat almost nothing but plants and the occasional termite.

4. A Holstein dairy cow 680 kg

   A productive dairy cow gives about 30 liters of milk a day — and burps enough methane to matter in climate accounting.

5. An adult male Asian elephant 4 t

   You can tell it from its African cousin by the much smaller ears and the twin domes on its forehead.

6. Big Ben, the Great Bell of Westminster 13.8 t

   Big Ben is the bell, not the tower — and it cracked within months of entering service in 1859; the odd tone is the crack.
