The ozone hole above Antarctica has grown to three times the size of Brazil
The ozone hole above Antarctica has grown to three times the size of Brazil
It's one of the biggest ozone holes on record — but not necessarily cause for alarm.

How many capybara is that?
Brazil
- Area: 8,515,767 km² (3,287,956 sq mi)
- (sauce)
Capybara
- Adult capybaras grow to 106 to 134 cm
- (sauce)
Taking the average for length (120 cm). The width of a capybara is surprisingly absent from the internet, so I had to improvise by counting pixels:
Finding a clean top-down photo was also surprisingly difficult, but I chose this one because it's laying fairly straight, and there's a visible prominence of its hip bone and spine. I don't want to count fur-fluff in the width, so multiplying the hip to spine count by two gets us a hip-to-hip count of 56 pixels, which is 0.209% of its 268 pixel length. Multiplying wiki's length average by 0.209 gets us a width of: 25.08 cm, x 120 cm gives us an area of 3,009.6 cm² (3.24 sq ft), or to make our units the same, 0.030096 km²
8,515,767 km² (Brazil) / 0.030096 km² (capybara) = 282,953,448.96 capybaras per Brazil
x 3 = 848,860,346.88 capybaras per 1 antarctic ozone hole!
Good bot.
Only at work, bruh!
