The Real Size of 21 Various Things with Humans For Scale
The world is a very diverse place. People, plants, animals, and objects come in all different kinds of shapes, and sizes. When you see a photo of something big, it can often be difficult to tell how large that item is, especially without something relatable for scale, like a person standing in the frame. That being said, some things are obvious in how large they are like buildings, sculptures, large animals like Elephants and Giraffes, however, things like fossilized dinosaur bones, the talons of an Eagle, or a Wind Turbine can be misleading in their stature.
So sit back and enjoy this interesting look at some random items and objects whose true size may surprise you.
