Kleiber’s Law suggests that the size of an animal and its metabolic rate (how much energy it needs to survive) follows a 3/4 power scaling law.
Interestingly, the results seem to work across animal kingdoms too. Mammals, fish, reptiles, and even plants all conform to the same 3/4 power scaling law.
