By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A black garden ant worker 1.5 mg

   Ants can carry 10 to 50 times their own body weight — the square-cube law makes tiny bodies absurdly strong for their size.

2. A single drop of water 50 mg

   Pharmacists standardized the 'drop' centuries ago: twenty drops make roughly one milliliter.

3. A brilliant-cut one-carat diamond 200 mg

   The carat unit comes from carob seeds, which ancient gem traders used as counterweights on their balance scales.

4. A AA alkaline battery 24 g

   Billions of AA cells are produced worldwide every year, making it the planet's most popular battery size.

5. A kiwi fruit 75 g

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

6. An adult male wild boar 90 kg

   Wild boars are thriving so well they have spread or been introduced to every continent except Antarctica.
