Answer: an adult horse measures 2.4 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, a three-seat sofa at 2.2 m.
A riding horse is roughly as long as a dairy cow.
Common miss: players tend to compress an adult horse when it sits beside a three-seat sofa — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: an emperor penguin measures 1.1 m (height), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an acoustic guitar at 1 m.
The tallest living penguin reaches roughly 1.15 metres.
Common miss: players tend to compress an emperor penguin when it sits beside an acoustic guitar — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: an American bullfrog measures 15 cm (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a game controller at 16 cm.
A large bullfrog can be almost as long as a modern phone.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an American bullfrog when it sits beside a game controller — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a bald eagle wingspan measures 2.1 m (length / span), which is almost exactly the same size as the reference, a queen bed at 2 m.
A large bald eagle can spread its wings more than two metres wide.
Common miss: players tend to compress a bald eagle wingspan when it sits beside a queen bed — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: an adult orca measures 7.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.2× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
Adult male orcas can grow beyond eight metres.
