The relationship between brain weight and body weight in mammals in double-logarithmic presentation. Some species of shrews, mouse, dog, horse and African elephant have ‘average’ brain weights; accordingly their data points lie exactly on the regression line. Chimpanzees, humans, but also dolphins have brain weights above average; some bat species, hedgehog, pig, hippopotamus, blue whale and sperm whale have brain weights below average.
