Big, Bigger, Biggest

Weighing In

We are Big Animals. Not as big as elephants, but Big. Also, there are hippos, which are also Big. You probably knew that already.

Today elephants would be biggest, but even so, among all the elephants on Earth, only one can be the biggest one. Everybody else comes in somewhere down the line. And by tomorrow, some other elephant may have gained 2 pounds, and take over the crown. As a group, they are Big.

Bigness has some issues as a topic. Which Rhino is bigger than which hippo? Which Rhino is bigger than another, and how would We tell? We are not into scales and weighing ourselves or one another. We own no tape measures. Still, We are Big Animals. We Rhinos mostly evaluate these Bigness matters by bumping into one another and seeing who falls over. In the Wild, where We live, much is revealed through rough-housing, however noisy.

The key topic associated with Bigness is Food. We each have a lot of body to maintain and sustain. A Big Body is a Big Responsibility.
