By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A ruby-throated hummingbird 4 g

   It crosses the Gulf of Mexico nonstop — about 800 km — burning nearly half its body fat in a single 20-hour flight.

2. 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.

3. An adult male African bush elephant 6 t

   The largest land animal walks almost silently — its foot pads expand and absorb sound like cushioned trainers.

4. A Nimitz-class aircraft carrier 100K t

   A floating city of about 5,000 people, it can sail more than 20 years between refuelings of its nuclear reactors.

5. The Empire State Building 331K t

   Built in just 410 days during the Depression, it sat so empty at first that New Yorkers dubbed it the 'Empty State Building'.

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.
