How to Use this Animal Size Comparison Generator
The tool is actually quite simple to use. You just need to pick an animal (e.g. polar bear or blue whale) from the dropdown list and add it to the chart for size comparison. You can remove a figure from the chart using the ‘Remove’ tab and also hide the names of all figures using the checkbox that’s below the button.
Please note also you can drag any figure to the left or right of others in case you want to change their positions.
With regards to the chart limits, there is a maximum number of 8 figures that can be added excluding the blue whale.
In order to get the best visual results for comparing animal sizes, try to do the following:
- Access the tool from a computer or large tablet if possible
- When using a mobile device, make the view horizontal (i.e. landscape orientation)

Please note the height data used for all animals was collected from a few reliable sources (mainly Wikipedia and Dimensions). So, you can trust the tool to be really accurate.

Conclusion
Whether you want to compare the size of various animals or the size of a specific animal to a human, this accurate online tool will help you out. You just need to choose and add the desired figures to the chart.
