If, instead, we were to say that the whale's tongue weighs the same as a single African elephant, and that the entire whale tips the scales at the equivalent of 25 elephants, then you might suddenly grasp its magnitude.

How Many Molehills in a Mountain? reveals the world through visual equivalents - so that size, speed and mass make instant sense.
