An overview of ranges of mass. To help compare different orders of magnitude, the following lists describe various mass levels between 10 −67 kg and 10 52 kg. The least massive thing listed here is a graviton, and the most massive thing is the observable universe.
A large male ostrich can reach a height of 2.8 m (9.2 ft) and weigh over 156 kg (344 lb). [172] A mass of 200 kg (440 lb) has been cited for the common ostrich but no wild ostriches of this weight have been verified. [173] Eggs laid by the ostrich can weigh 1.4 kg (3.1 lb) and are the largest eggs in the world today. [citation needed]
The heaviest land mammal is the African bush elephant, which has a weight of up to 10.1 t (11.1 short tons).It measures 10–13 ft at the shoulder and consumes around 230 kg (500 lb) of vegetation a day.
Elephants are the largest members, weighing between 2.5 and 6.0 tons. Indian rhinos, white rhinos and hippos usually weigh between 1.4 and 2.3 tons. The Javan and black rhino average 1–1.3 tons in weight. Giraffes are the smallest members, with a general weight range of 0.8–1.2 tons. [38]: 14 [58]

This category is for inanimate or animate things, including entities, objects, and creatures, without excluding humans. Things that weigh the most will typically be the most massive as well, although mass and weight are somewhat different scientific concepts, as discussed at the article about mass versus weight
The tonne (/ t ʌ n / ⓘ or / t ɒ n /; symbol: t) is a unit of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms.It is a non-SI unit accepted for use with SI.It is also referred to as a metric ton in the United States to distinguish it from the non-metric units of the short ton (United States customary units) and the long ton (British imperial units).
A crane that can lift 1,000 tons, described as one of the largest on the Eastern Seaboard, appeared near the site of a collapsed highway bridge in Baltimore as crews prepared Friday to begin ...
