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.

Yes, Blaze was probably correct. Dinocrocuta was probably about 200-250 kg in weight (similar in size to Lions or inland Grizzlies) so estimates of 400 kg something are probably dubious. Dinocrocuta was just a much bigger-headed animal than modern Hyenas so if you scale them using skull size, you will most likely overestimate its size.
