When you are very big (like an elephant), gravity is all important and surface tension barely matters. When you are very small (like an ant), it is the other way around. Toss a mouse from a building. It will land, shake itself off and scamper away. But if similarly dropped, “… a rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes.” So wrote J.B.S. Haldane in his 1926 essay "On Being the Right Size."
