From an issue of National Geographic. I remember seeing this in one of my issues. Here it is scanned.  |

Sauropod Slayer Squad™. Image is not by me, it was created by someone on a mutual Discord server. It incorporates skeletals created by Franoys, Dan Folkes, SpinoInWonderland, and Gunnar Bivens (bricksmashtv).  |

Not sure this post belongs here but some stuff on the giant Kenyan Abelisaurid is starting to come out.

In that thread, the guy says its skull was twice the size of that of Majungasaurus or Carnotaurus (both of which had skulls about 60 cm in length). That's terrifying, if true. There's also an abelisaurid cranial fragment from Brazil also estimated to have had a total skull length of 120 cm (based on Abelisaurus). paleoglot.org/files/Bertini_96.pdf |

Turns out Ankylosaurus could get freaking huge.

Not so much a size comparison, but some top views of some animals. Here's the Triceratops specimen named Dirk (total body length just over 6 meters). It was a subadult, yet look at how massive that ribcage is ( source->).  Here are top views of different elephant species, extant and extinct ( Larramendi et al., 2017).  |

Komodo dragon skull next to anaconda skull. I think I found it from Amelia Zietlow's Twitter.  |

This is what an Allosaurus claw looks like compared to a wolf claw (these are replicas). Keep in mind that the Allosaurus claw is only supposed to be a replica of the fossilized bone core, while the wolf claw is intended to be a replica of the whole claw in life (keratin sheath and all). In reality, the Allosaurus claw would be even bigger in comparison.   |

I love that new apex mosasaur, somehow Longrich seems to consider prognathodontids larger and more predatory dominant than Mosasaurus.  It is time for a biting mechanism study on these critters. |
