Animals in the graph ordered by yawn duration: mouse, rat, possum, cat, dog, hedgehog, white-faced capuchin, horse, gorilla, chimpanzee, African elephant, human. Note: variance is not available for African elephants.

The way the fact is worded is a bit misleading, what the yawn duration predicts is not sheer size but relative brain weight and cortical neuron number, which in term means the animal is more intelligent.
