Where's Carlos beside a car?
They never include a proper size comparison!
He’s carless.
The turtle has "the site of a car", 2.4 m apparently.
Then they might have found even bigger individuals in the meantime.
The sources I've found are not specific. The turtle with "the size of a car" might be 2.4 m or up to 3 m.
This is Stupendemys geographicus from Urumaco, Venezuela, and Rodolfo Sánchez from Coro, Venezuela.
They grew up to 4m long, according to https://www.theguardian.com/science/2020/feb/12/giant-turtle-fossil-south-america-stupendemys-geographicus.
How many bananas for scale are in a Carlos?
Imagine the size of the turtles head
Americans will use anything but metric
The Rules:
Posts must be a screenshot, crosspost, or link to someone using a bizarre unit of measurement (33 lanes wide, as heavy as 10 semi-trucks, etc.)
Standard units are not allowed, unless it's a sufficiently bizarre usage of the unit (this is up to mod discretion.)
Intentionally terrible units are completely fine! Satire is welcome here
Curses are fine, slurs are not. If there are slurs in something you want to post, please blur them, or reconsider posting.
Flag NSFW content as such. NSFW words in these posts don't need to be censored.
Post titles should be just the unit of measurement used (not the thing being measured!), and should be the full name of the unit (Apples and Bags of Apples imply very different things!) NSFW units should be partially censored. If there are multiple units, list as many as you want. If the source is satire, the title should start with [Satire]
In the comments be civil, both to each other AND the subject of posts.
