Compare animal size

What item could i use to show a relative size of animals in pictures?
Some of you always use a human zookeeper figure, a trafficsign or a legoblock.
I dont want to just copy those. Any other surgestions?

I think a lego block ( Andres'  idea) is perfect !
Everyone knows it, and it is easy to get hold of  

Some people use a ruler, but my head does not easily recognize it, - I have to find a ruler and see how much f.inst. 4,5 cm is, compared to one ofd my models - others use inces

You can use a standard sized thimble or a die.

I am using now a Playmobil because it is fun and well knwon like a lego

As you're mainly collecting bears, I suggest you use whichever of those already in your collection of major brands (i.e. a common item we're likely to know) is most relevant for the new item in your collection you wish to show us.

Say, if showing a modern brand, one of the common Schleich bears; or if a vintage item, the Britains polar bear sitting.
