Does this equation work with land animals only, or animals in general? Blue whales weigh, on average, around 220,000 pounds.

Land animals only... Sea critters are suspended by the water... Since animal flesh is very close to the same density as water, you can (roughly) envision a great whale as "a bag of water in the water."

(But don't tell him that to his face...)
