By weight · Order from lightest to heaviest.

1. A whole pineapple 1.2 kg

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

2. An adult giant panda 110 kg

   Pandas spend up to 14 hours a day eating bamboo because they digest only about a fifth of what they swallow.

3. An adult male giraffe 1.2 t

   A giraffe's heart generates about double the blood pressure of most mammals to push blood two meters up its neck to the brain.

4. 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.

5. A Space Shuttle orbiter, empty on the runway 78 t

   Returning from orbit, the shuttle was a glider with no engines for a second try — every landing had to work the first time.

6. General Sherman, the giant sequoia in California 1.3K t

   Earth's largest single tree by volume is still growing, adding roughly a good-sized ordinary tree's worth of wood every year.
