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. A giant Pacific octopus 30 kg

   It can squeeze its entire body through any gap larger than its beak — the only hard part it owns.

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. 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.

5. Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose flying boat 113 t

   It held the record for largest wingspan of any aircraft until 2019, yet flew exactly once, in 1947 — for about 26 seconds.

6. The Motherland Calls statue in Volgograd, Russia 8K t

   Twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, sword included, she is not anchored to her base — held in place by gravity alone.
