    While this is probably the reason they do this, I hate that they don’t mention the correct number before giving a “relatable” example.

    I know what 355 cm^3 is roughly. And I know how much sth. Weighs in kg.

    I don’t know how heavy a elephant baby is. Wtf?

      Yes. And “baby elephant” is also a vague term to begin with. I imagine a 1 week old elefant weighs a lot less than a 20 week old one. How long is an elephant considered a baby? I have no idea.
