There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

T25 and T19:
First what is on the plain of the image (no adjustments). T25 is 1.085x longer and 1.093x larger in chest diameter.
In terms of correction, T25 has his head more tucked in, so from the plain of the image one could say he is 1.09x longer.
Now in terms of perspective, T25 is further back than T17. I think compensating by increasing the length difference to 1.11x and girth difference to 1.113x would be okay, maybe a bit too conservative but we'll stick with this for the first set of calculations.
So to estimate mass:
Length based mass = 1.11^3 * 170 kg = 233 kg
Chest based mass = 1.113^3 * 170 kg = 234 kg
Both values are functionally the same.
Now a caveat is that if you look at how much difference being even a meter behind another object will shrink the object further back, the aforementioned compensation is likely too little. Maybe compensating both difference ratios to 1.13x-1.15x would be more accurate, which is a mass of 245-260 kg, similar to T24.
