By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A kiwi fruit 75 g

   Originally China's 'mihoutao', it was rebranded by New Zealand exporters in 1959 after their flightless national bird.

2. A giant Pacific octopus 30 kg

   It can squeeze its entire body through any gap larger than its beak — the only hard part it owns.

3. A capybara, the world's largest rodent 50 kg

   Capybaras are so famously chill that birds, monkeys, and even crocodilians perch and lounge on them like furniture.

4. 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.

5. A Saturn V rocket, fully fueled for a Moon launch 3K t

   Apollo crews rode atop a small warship's worth of kerosene, hydrogen, and oxygen — most of it burned within minutes.

6. The Golden Gate Bridge 805K t

   Its two main cables contain enough wire to circle the Earth three times, and painting crews never actually finish — they cycle forever.
