In the table below all of the animals now have the same body sizes. Compare the brains of these animals. Was your hypothesis correct? Is there any difference in brain size now?

	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m
	body size=1m

So, what did you notice? Are the brains all the same size when body sizes are the same? Or are some brains larger than others?

I'm not sure... can we talk about this some more?

What if all these animals had the same brain size?

Huh? Can we start over?
