Default Which chart type to use

XY chart, body weight along X, brain weight along Y, data labels to identify
the species. Use one of these utilities to provide the custom data labels:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com

This should be pretty simple, I need to compare the body weight and brain
weights of 3 different animals. THere is a signifigant difference
between
the brain and body weight of each, for instance, Humans are avg 160 lbs
and
brain is 3.5 lbs. I tried a column chart but you dont see the brain
data,
it is too small compared to the body weight. What type of chart would
best
display this data? Thanks.
