This is interesting, but I particularly like the "infographic" they used. You know, just in case you are not sure what 1.5m is...

One standard kangaroo.

Is that the new GPS unit for measuring plate tectonics? "We're off by a kangaroo because Oz is moving north at a rate of 1 platypus bill per year."

Is it 4 wombats to the platypus or the other way around? I forget.

Well at least the metric kangaroo system makes a bit of sense and has common multiples - the mad New Zealand Geologists are still using Imperial Kiwi Units - three Kakapo to the Kiwi, twelve Kiwi to the lamb,1760 lambs to the Rugby Pitch

And with that many lambs to the rugby pitch, it's really hard to get a match in. Too crowded.

Perhaps that is why the AllBlacks are so damned good - the rest of the world trains on empty pitches whereas the NZer have to dodge weave and push around 1760 lambs on their training pitches
