Creature "Size"

60,000 cubic centimeters is a volume a little over the size of the Goodyear blimp. The measurement here is SEVERELY off. 64.126.160.162 09:52, 27 March 2017 (UTC)

It appears the number refers to weight rather than volume which is what it says at DF2014:Creature#Reading_the_Table and is about what Wikipedia:Human_body_weight#Average_weight_around_the_world has.
I've changed the templates but DF2014:Size and other pages still need updating.

Size is a volume, and measured in cubic centimeters ( http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=30026.msg831163#msg831163 ). 60,000 cubic centimeters is 60 liters - you might be thinking cubic meters. It's not even close to Goodyear Blimp measurements.

This is true, there are 1,000,000 cm3 in 1 m3. But it is very strange to measure creatures in volume and thus confusing. It should be stated in the same sort of units we use in real life, which is commonly weight. Maybe if the raws provided length, height and/or wingspan ... but they don't. Sorry I didn't state that before.
