1. An adult Dalmatian 25 kg

   Dalmatian puppies are born completely white; their famous spots only appear after a few weeks.

2. 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.

3. A classic yellow American school bus 11 t

   The exact yellow is a legal standard from 1939, chosen because black lettering on it reads fastest in dim morning light.

4. A fully equipped fire engine 18 t

   Around 2,000 liters of onboard water account for a chunk of the heft — plus ladders, hoses, and hydraulic rescue tools.

5. General Sherman, the giant sequoia in California 1.3K t

   Earth's largest single tree by volume is still growing, adding roughly a good-sized ordinary tree's worth of wood every year.

6. The Burj Khalifa in Dubai 500K t

   The world's tallest building is tall enough to watch the sunset at the base, ride the elevator up, and watch it set again.
