Red fox vs Cricket wicket set: length comparison
The stump height of a cricket wicket set is about 1.02 times the body length of a red fox.
The red fox is a wild member of the dog family, recognised for its reddish fur and bushy tail, and is native to much of the Northern Hemisphere.
A cricket wicket set is the arrangement of three upright wooden stumps topped by two bails, serving as the target for bowlers and fielders in cricket.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions. Horizontal rulers compare the selected spans; vertical brackets also identify height on the artwork.
