By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. An adult male western lowland gorilla 160 kg

   Silverbacks are several times stronger than a fit human, yet they eat almost nothing but plants and the occasional termite.

2. A Steinway concert grand piano 480 kg

   Each Steinway Model D takes about a year to build and contains over 12,000 individual parts.

3. 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.

4. A Tesla Model 3 1.8 t

   Around a quarter of the car's entire mass is its battery pack, mounted in the floor for a racing-car center of gravity.

5. A fully loaded 18-wheeler semi-truck 36 t

   Fully loaded, a semi needs about 40% more stopping distance than a car — which is why truckers leave that gap you keep filling.

6. An M1 Abrams main battle tank 62 t

   Despite the bulk it tops 65 km/h, powered by a jet-style gas turbine engine that can run on almost any fuel.
