Metabolic rates of animals that differ in size.

Description
Metabolism can be scaled to body mass by measuring oxygen consumption and normalizing it to the animal's body mass (mass-specific BMR). Note that when expressed in this way, the mass-specific BMR of a shrew is higher than that of an elephant, even though the total oxygen consumption and heat output of the elephant would be much greater. The values on the y-axis are relative units of metabolism. Sizes of the animals shown are not to scale.
