Nice exercise, but in length I would say the magnitude is correct: around 6m for an elephant vs 3-6mm for a mosquito

  But animals are three-dimensional, so it's better to include three dimensions in the comparison. We also compare CPUs by die-area, not by their length or height.

    It's pretty common to compare animals by height. e.g. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Largestdinosaursbysuborder_scale.png https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/1f/Largestd...

      So a thin-but-tall animal compared to an elephant? I think you'd switch to mass/volume in context..
