was going into the basement of the old elephant and rhino pavilion.

And a rhino stuck its head out from like this gap in the wall.

And the head was twice the size I thought it was once you stood next to it.

And the same with an elephant.

I once stood next to an elephant closer than you are to me now.

And you go, oh, oh, they are so much bigger than I thought.

And I think it's similar in museums.

Like even when you get up relatively close to a T-Rex skeleton and

There's a bit of space between you and it, and then some bars, and then it's usually raised up a little bit on a mount to hold the platform, and then you stand back from that, and you don't actually get to stand under them.

And when you do that, yeah, you realize that, yeah, the foot finishes at my knee.

So is a T-Rex bigger than an elephant?

Would that be fair to say?

Yeah.

I mean, a very large Savannah African elephant is five to six tons.

And we're looking at seven plus and a biped and a carnivore.

So yeah, you know, a big lion, a big lion is 200 kilos.

So 430 pounds.

Yeah, and I think more than that.

I think it's one of the most iconic animals, period.

I mean, if you're listing things that the average person has heard of, lion, elephant, giraffe, tiger, hippo, rhino, there's a few more.
