1. A roasted coffee bean 8.5 mm

   A coffee 'bean' is actually the seed of a cherry-like fruit that grows on shrubs near the equator.

2. A credit card 8.6 cm

   Every card's dimensions follow a global standard so it fits machines from Tokyo to Toronto.

3. A red kangaroo (standing) 1.5 m

   Kangaroos cannot walk backwards, a trait so iconic it earned them a spot on Australia's coat of arms.

4. A great white shark 5.2 m

   Great whites can detect a single drop of blood diluted in 100 litres of water from hundreds of metres away.

5. A blue whale 28 m

   The largest animal ever known, its heart alone is the size of a small car and beats just a few times a minute.

6. A giant sequoia (tallest) 89 m

   These trees can live over 3,000 years, and their thick bark resists fire that clears competing plants away.
