To your scale
Type your height and the animal world gets measured against you. Add your weight or your age and more comes out. None of it leaves your browser: nothing is sent, nothing is stored and nothing is tracked.
These are some of the species here, drawn to the same scale as each other. As soon as you type your height, you step into this same ruler.
- 0.86 mBald eagle
- 1.03 mRing-tailed lemur
- 1.35 mArctic wolf
- 3.97 mHippopotamus
- 6.75 mAfrican bush elephant
§ How to play
Your height, and the rest is measured against you
- 01You type your height. Weight and age are optional: height alone already works, and all three bring out more.
- 02At the top you are drawn beside a species, both at the SAME scale and with the magnitude spelled out: an elephant’s shoulder height and a shark’s length are not the same thing, and here it says which one is being measured.
- 03Below come the findings, each with the species figure and a link to the source it comes from.
§ What gets compared
Three figures of yours, four of the species
Nothing you type leaves your browser: nothing is sent, nothing is stored — not even on your own machine — and nothing is tracked. That is why there is no account, no history, and why reloading means typing it again. The card you share carries the findings and never your height or your weight.
| What you type | What it is compared with |
|---|---|
| Height | The species’ total length and, where there is one, its shoulder height. |
| Weight | Its mass. |
| Age | Its lifespan — the real species’ one, not the character’s. |
§ Questions
What people usually ask
Is my height or weight stored anywhere?
No. The whole calculation happens in your browser and no request carries your figures to a server. Close the tab and nothing is left, here or on your machine.
Why do I sometimes get two findings and sometimes four?
Because two good ones beat four fillers. "You are 0.37 times a giraffe" is a division, not a finding, and when there is nothing notable nothing gets padded in.
Why is weight optional?
Because asking for your weight should not be a toll. Height alone plays the whole game; weight only adds mass comparisons, which happen to be the most surprising ones.
Where do the animal figures come from?
From the project’s encyclopedia, where every figure carries its source. When a trait is a range, the midpoint is used: comparing against the record specimen of each species would make everyone look tiny.
Can I try it for someone else?
Yes. Type their figures and measure again; nothing is kept between one go and the next.
