Here is a thread where we can post size comparisons so it will be easier to keep track on The great comparisons that memembers make. I will kindly ask @GuateGojira would be so Nice to post the great ones he has made on this thread.

Hunting records have been regarded controversially since the dawn of the "scientific" era. Many doubt whether a sport whereby larger game is desired can produce accurate figures.

At the same time, the "scientific era" has failed to provide morphological information on many species, such as tigers, lions, bears, elephants, and bovids, in an amount as great as records of past hunters.

It leaves us with the difficult question on whether or not to accept hunting records. To best answer this question, this thread is for the discussion of different hunting records of any species. You are welcome to discuss specific records as well as general ideas regarding this topic.

The Bloodbath
Dogs attacking a bluebull

" stray dogs kill many wild animals in Mudumalai... how to check the dogs is a moot question...they kill all the babies & young ones of animals as spotted deer, sambar , mouse deer etc...a grave threat to wildlife..."

I've heard a bit of the exceptional size of Okavango Lions and lionesses and that they are some of the biggest cats in the world. This is due to big prey in buffalo and it being hard to move around in the marshes strengthening the animals when they do. Maybe as they're more aquatic this may strengthen them too. I've even heard the lionesses are nearly the same size as the mainland males! We all know about the Duba's as well.

If anyone has more info or data on these cats then please share, all data is welcome. Share pics and vids too please.



.

Post your pics or vids of some of the biggest bears ever seen. If you have further info on the pics or vids please share. My first thread so if I've done anything wrong go easy on me XD


Fragmented info on this bear. “Dr. Pete Clark took this exceptional bear while hunting with me last fall. Certainly over 11 ft. in his prime, but still well over 10 feet, Boone & Crockett 29 12/16ths. Fellow guide Troy Kitchel captured it on video. Killing shot was at 4 yards!”

Mean swim speeds of Bottlenosed dolphins was roughly 6.5 meters a sec. Max speed was 8.15 meters a sec. 8 meters a sec was given for the Common dolphin.

Page 4 in this next link gives the swimming speeds for various dolphin species;

Lagenor or Pacific White Sided dolphins topped at 7.8 meters a sec, for a total of 2 secs.

Porpoising Bottlenosed dolphins managed 11.2 meters a sec. Common dolphins managed 8.8 meters a sec. Spotted dolphins reached 11.1 meters a sec.

Swim speeds of dusky dolphins, page 15;

Burst speeds ranged from 3.08 - 10.04 meters per sec.

Many stated that tiger, TJ, was 700 lbs. I emailed them to get verification, and they said he was 350 lbs. Will show the email soon (dont have the pic saved to this computer yet).

Livyatan Melville: The largest recorded individual tooth measures up to 14 inches (35 cm), while the rumor suggests some even larger tooth up to 16 inches (40 cm).

I don't have the weight of the largest tooth, but consider that a 7.5 inches (19 cm) modern sperm whale tooth can weigh up to 700 grams (1.5 pounds), it is likely that the largest Leviathan tooth can weigh over 10 pounds.

Here is a monster tooth of the Leviathan.







Tyrannosaurus Rex: The longest recorded tooth measures up to 13.75 inches, although the weight is unknown for that tooth. But a 5 inches fragment already weighs up to 337.8 grams, so an entire tooth can weigh over 900 grams (2 pounds).

Here is the replica of the largest recorded T. rex tooth.






Megalodon: There are many pics of the exaggerated fake Meg teeth being found online, but when it comes to the real teeth, a 169 mm tooth based on the slant height weighs up to 538 grams, and I guess the largest one should weigh over 600 grams.

Anyone heard of em Canadians since AvA was Caput?
Thanks!
