A drugs haul weighing more than an elephant has been seized in the Mexican navy’s biggest ever drugs bust.
The operation saw 23 people arrested off the country’s southwest coast.
The haul weighed some 8,400kg - an elephant can weigh up to 6,000kg on average, according to the WWF.
“This represents the largest quantity of drugs seized in a maritime operation, without precedent in the history of the institution,” the navy said in a statement.
Sounds like it was also heavier than a pickup truck and a tardigrade.
“Heavier than” is not an especially good metric. Especially when you’re talking about something that’s 1400 kg heavier.
It’s an average elephant. Maybe there are elephants heavier than the haul
But they had to explain that in the article, which also makes it a bad metric. “This is heavier than X you don’t know the weight of. By the way, this is how much X weighs on average.” Maybe measure it against something people understand the weight of since they’ve been around them much more often. Like a car. Or maybe something they’ve even had experience moving like a fridge or a piano.
What KINDS of drugs though?
An elephants worth of weed is way different from phanty fenty.

This is so sad.
Legalize it already.
It will make most “criminals” become friendly to the police and help them catch actual criminals.
