By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A stick of butter 113 g

   US butter sticks come in two shapes: the stubby 'Western' stick exists because West Coast dairies bought different molds.

2. A whole pineapple 1.2 kg

   Pineapples take nearly two years to grow, and each plant produces just one fruit at a time.

3. A whole Thanksgiving turkey 7.5 kg

   Wild turkeys can fly at up to 90 km/h in short bursts; the broad-breasted domestic birds on holiday tables cannot fly at all.

4. An adult North American beaver 20 kg

   The largest beaver dam ever found, in Alberta, Canada, stretches about 850 meters and is visible from space.

5. A Thoroughbred racehorse 570 kg

   At full gallop a racehorse's heart pumps roughly 240 liters of blood per minute — ten times its resting rate.

6. The Statue of Liberty 204 t

   Her copper skin is only about as thick as two pennies; the green color is a patina that took roughly 30 years to develop.
