A little perspective
Pomegranate vs Nudibranch: length comparison
The fruit diameter of a pomegranate is approximately equal to the body length of a nudibranch.
A pomegranate is a round fruit from the Punica granatum tree, containing many edible seeds surrounded by juicy pulp.
A nudibranch is a soft-bodied marine mollusc, often brightly coloured, commonly known as a sea slug.
Both rulers start at the same zero and share one linear scale. Artwork keeps its original proportions.

The marked defined fruit diameter is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
Nudibranch
Defined body length: 10 cm; defined specimen; range 5 cm–15 cm.
A defined 10 cm dorid nudibranch specimen. Species range from millimetres to many centimetres; rhinophores and gill plume are included in the illustration but not the nose-to-tail calibration.

Why this measurement?
Why we use 10 cm
We compare the fruit diameter of a pomegranate. This is an illustrative comparison value, not a claim that every example is the same. The recorded range is 8 cm to 12 cm.
