1. A jelly bean 1.8 cm

   Making a single jelly bean takes up to two weeks, mostly to build and harden the layered candy shell.

2. A Bengal tiger (body length) 2.1 m

   A tiger's roar can be heard up to three kilometres away and carries frequencies low enough to paralyse prey with fear.

3. A reticulated python 6.6 m

   The world's longest snake, it kills by constriction, tightening with every breath its prey exhales.

4. Christ the Redeemer statue, Rio 40 m

   It is struck by lightning several times a year, and repair crews keep spare soapstone to patch the damage.

5. Mont Blanc, the Alps 4.8 km

   Its summit is buried under permanent ice so thick that the official height changes slightly with the snow each year.

6. The Yellow River, China (length) 5.5K km

   Nicknamed 'China's Sorrow', its devastating floods have killed more people than perhaps any other natural feature.
