We tend to notice big things: the highest skyscrapers, the biggest shark, the largest bridges, the tallest giraffes. We notice these things and speak about them. However, everything is better understood in comparison: the tiniest things are amazing in their size too. And the bigger the difference between the biggest and the smallest thing of its type is, the cooler. Our world is a place full of varieties, after all! For example, the world's biggest shark is the whale shark. Slow-moving and filter-feeding, this calm giant can grow as long as 10 adults lined up! Or how about the biggest ship ever built: the Symphony of the Seas cruise ship. It could easily transport 8 and a half Statues of Liberty, 15 and a half Brooklyn Bridges, or 20 and a half Eiffel Towers. The ship is as long as 12 blue whales!
