Newborns are about 80 cm to 1 metre long, while adults are usually double or triple that size. Females are sometimes slightly longer than males. Adults will weigh about 60 to 100 kg.

Our Sun compared to other Stars
Our Sun is just a tiny speck compared to other stars!
Hard to even make out in the picture with the Sun just 1 pixel wide. Jupiter becomes invisible at this scale.
Milky Way - Our Galaxy
There are 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way.
The stellar disk of the Milky Way Galaxy is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter, and is considered to be, on average, about 1,000 ly thick.
Our Milky Way galaxy is small compared to other galaxies. Our neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy has over one trillion stars!
The Observable Universe
This is a Hubble Ultra Deep Field image of a small region of the observable universe (equivalent sky area size shown in bottom left corner).

Top 10 Animal Gourmets
Although they might seem like vacuum cleaners, collecting ants like crumbs with one big sniff of their snout, it's not quite that easy for giant anteaters. To capture a meal, first these mammals use their large claws to open a colony or tree trunk. From there, they must act quickly, because the tiny insects they're feasting on don't go down without a fight and could sting them.
What look like really long noses are actually anteaters' jaws, so they aren't snorting ants at all. Instead, they use their long tongues to collect their meals. According to the Smithsonian National Zoo (SNZ), giant anteaters' tongues are 2 feet (.6 meters) long and their saliva acts as glue, which makes it easy to gather up their tiny victims quickly. Instead of teeth, anteaters have hard growths on the inside of their mouths that act like food processors, crushing insects as they are consumed. SNZ also reports some anteaters have been known to swallow small stones that continue the crushing process in their stomachs. At one sitting, giant anteaters can eat a few thousand insects within minutes, so they need all the kitchen aid they can get.
9. Leafcutter Ant
Leafcutter ants are different from other species of ants in the way they make their food. In fact, according to the Chicago-based Lincoln Park Zoo (LPZ), these ants are the first animals known to cultivate their own crops like farmers. They get their name because of their ability to cut leaves from trees with their scissor-like mandibles. Once leaves are cut, each ant carries a leaf back to the colony where the leaves are added to a pile, similar to a compost heap. Worker ants then add their feces or saliva to the leaves, which acts as a kind of fertilizer to help the leaves grow fungus. They later use the resulting fungus to feed ant larvae. While the baby ants eat the nutrient-rich fungus, adult ants feast on sap that's also produced from the leaves.
8. Nursery Web Spider
The male nursery web spider's mating ritual includes a recipe for romance. He knows it takes more than just showing up on a girl's web to mate with her, so this eight-legged Casanova goes above and beyond. The spider will take an insect that's landed in his web and wrap it tightly in silk like a beautiful gift. Once the male nursery web spider sets his sights on a mate, he takes the silk-wrapped insect and presents it to his ladylove. While the female nursery web spider enjoys -- and is distracted by -- this tasty treat, the male makes his move and mates with her. Sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures, and a male spider might wrap up a non-edible object, like a small pebble, if an insect can't be found. This gift is still accepted by the female, but the male has to act fast because she will attack when she unwraps the offering and realizes his act of deception.
