100 tonnes
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Blue whale
A chosen 25 m, 100 tonne adult blue whale (Balaenoptera musculus). Population, sex and age matter: this is a representative comparison specimen, not a record animal.
The marked mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ Mass
- Relative size
- The two selected measurements are approximately equal.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Blue whale is labelled representative; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
