1. 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.

   It was built in just 410 days during the Great Depression, rising about a floor a day at peak speed.

3. Merdeka 118, Kuala Lumpur 679 m

   The second-tallest building on Earth, its faceted glass facade echoes patterns from traditional Malaysian crafts.

   It is home to fewer than two million people but more than ten times as many sheep.

6. The Pan-American Highway (length) 30K km
