## Caption

For scale: #Maple continues growing under the watchful eye of Kindia, and is 14.25 inches tall and weighs approximately 22.7kg 🍁🦛

Did you know? The cntower in Toronto, Canada is a 553.33-meter (1,815-foot) engineering marvel that served as the world's tallest free-standing structure for over 30 years!

Fun Fact: The CN Tower has rated its famous Glass Floor as being strong enough to support the weight of 35 large moose. But in pygmy hippo terms, that’s approximately 964 Maples ⚖️ 

With the CN Tower also standing 1,815 feet, 5 inches high and Maple being 14.25 inches tall, you’d need to stack approximately 1,529 Maples, hoof to hippo, to reach the very tip of the CN Tower 🦛
