    initial v1  
    1 I did some maths and assumed that animal hp and food supply scales with the square root of real life animal weight which in most cases is quite a good assumption as you will see in the attached table. I also put all animals together in the order of real life weight and you can easily see that they do not really fit. There are three main reasons:
     1I did some maths and assumed that animal hp and food supply scales with the square root of real life animal weight which in most cases is quite a good assumption as you will see in the attached table. In Atlas I also put all animals together in the order of real life weight which does not fit well to their model size. There are three main reasons:
    22* The models do not have exactly the same scale. E.g. the rhino appears quite small to me especially compared to giraffes (which are too big). Note that male white rhinoceroses weight up to 2.4 tons and are the second largest animals on land.
    33* For some animals there are very broad variations in size and weight depending where they live. E.g. polar bears are 5 times heavier than southern European brown bears. I always tried to pick the species which live in central/southern Europe, near/middle East or North Africa
