    A normal-size balloon of helium can lift about 10 grams. Hares can be about 4 kilograms. Totally doable but that’s a lot of time, balloons and helium to just waste!

    Anyway, here are some more species and approximate adult weight when alive:

    • Bug (windshield): 0.1 g
    • Frog: 20 g
    • Mouse: 20 g
    • Snail: 25 g
    • Hedgehog: 600 g
    • Rabbit: 1 kg
    • Cat: 4 kg
    • Moose: 600 kg

        Probably not, the cluster of balloons would be so big you’d need a considerable amount of string, and at some point the overhead will be so big that each balloon will add more weight than lift.

        Still, a moose is probably possible, just with more balloons.
