If we plotted all 32 animals' weights as points on a number line, it would look something like this:

number line with dots above the line representing the weight of each of the animals. There is a big cluster between 0 and 17, a small cluster in the 30s and another small cluster in the 40s and individual dots spread out along the number line til a little above 120.
