 lolololololol The drawings are pretty cool though even if they are outdated Damn, most dinosaurs are vastly oversized, especially Deinonychus |

This size comparison is terrible. I measured via pixels on paint, and the Giraffe was 45.77% too short and the crocodile was 41.8% too short when compared to a 1.70 m man.  This scale is much better and more accurate;  |

 How old is this? Because the images all look very old fashioned and the theropods lack feathers. Theropod already said what has to be said about T. rex stance. Not saying this is bad, I like such depictions, they remind of good old dino-book times (and also some animal books where for example the style of the whale depictions was similar). I actually know both the Kronosaurus and the Velociraptor from one of my "good old dino books", even though the size chart was not part of it, and at least the T. rex looks like it’s a drawing from the same artist (who did some good work on other clades, but seemingly has severe problems with theropods). I’m always getting feelings of nostalgia when looking at those depictions. But they are terribly outdated (it was in 2000 and Michael Benton was the scientific consultant…one could have hoped for some feathers even back then), there’s no denying. |

Oh I know these, the llustrations are older and they are by the same artist. They were in my favorite "Dino" book at the time- I think I got it when I was 8 year old. I learned it by heart, even though its Tyrannosaurus was 15m long and its barionyx was standing on four feet. |

Just deliberately don't even notice the inaccuracies in how the dinosaurs look, such as the outdated kangaroo-like stance and unusually short theropod-like forearms for edmontosaurus? You disgust me... Lol JK! Although I do agree that the sizes are my least concern there |

coherentsheaf: They were in my favourite dino-book (the one I mentioned earlier) too, and it also stated T. rex to be 15m long (though that they claimed that Carcharodontosaurus was 8m–way smaller than their Allosaurus[!]–but had a 1.6m long skull was a lot more hilarious now that I think about it). The Baryonyx had pronated hands and stuff, though it wasn’t really standing on them, just standing in the water with them rather close to the surface.

This Mapusaurus scale chart (Ville Sinkkonen) is very shrinkwrapped  And since this is so common, I'll add a better one that is not shrinkwrapped: By Franoys  |

I know one of these charts was already posted, but it may be appropriate to warn about these 2 charts in relation to one another   Going by these, you'd think Mapusaurus vs Skorpiovenator is a close fight. It is NOT. |
