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. An average adult domestic cat 4.2 kg

   Cats purr at frequencies between 25 and 150 Hz — a range some studies suggest can promote bone and tissue healing.

3. An adult male white rhinoceros 2.3 t

   The 'white' is likely a mistranslation of the Dutch 'wijd', meaning wide — describing its broad, lawn-mowing mouth.

4. A southern elephant seal bull 3 t

   Bulls can outweigh females several times over — among the most extreme size gaps of any mammal — and dive 1,500 m deep.

5. 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.

6. A Boeing 777-300ER airliner at maximum takeoff weight 351.5 t

   Each of its GE90 engines is so wide that a Boeing 737 fuselage could very nearly fit inside the cowling.
