Göbekli Tepe's T-shaped megaliths are about 9 feet tall, with some carved with images of lions, ducks, scorpions, ants, spiders, snakes, bulls, foxes, and cranes.

Notes on verification

Original archaeological source confirms pillar height and full animal list; independent sources corroborate both dimensions and iconography.
