Depends on which species [0]. Elephants weight 3500-5900 kg[1], devide both numbers by 1100 to get 3.18-5.36 kg (7-11.8 pounds) and you have a simple interval-overlap search problem[2]. For example with dogs[3] the answer is a Japanese Chin[4]. So it should be "Google would be an elephant while DuckDuckGo is a ~~chihuahua~~ very small dog".

[0] http://www.metzerfarms.com/DuckBreedComparison.cfm the most common duck (mallard) is 0.72–1.58 kg, the most common farm duck is 2-2.5 kg, but certain breeds are close to the right interval.

I did a quick search comparing the mass of a mallard to a Canadian goose (default options returned for 'weight of duck' and 'weight of goose'). A large mallard on avg is about 3.5 lbs, and a small Canadian goose on average is about 7.1 lbs. In this case, yes! Two ducks == 1 goose.

Yes!! Maybe a "development stages" chart would go well with this meme: an egg (2015?) to a duck (2017) to a something_big (2019?).
