Size comparisons
|
I think I posted this earlier, but it was misscaled a bit. This is better.
Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex (FMNH PR 2081, 12.3 meters, ~8 tonnes) and the Dreadnoughtus holotype (MPM-PV 1156, 26 meters TL, 48.45 tonnes, still a juvenile). Now, even with this "extra large" Tyrannosaurus, we can see that there is a very large mass disparity here heavily favoring the sauropod. Even with the largest Tyrannosaurus, Dreadnoughtus is obviously the heaviest of the two - as a juvenile, it's 6 times heavier than the largest Tyrannosaurus. Adults would be even larger still. Skeletals are by Hartman (Tyrannosaurus top and sideview), Dreadnoughtus discovery paper for side view, and palaeozoologist for Dreadnoughtus top view.  *This image is copyright of its original author

I have to say, that I don´t get what you try to say with this: "Looks like Rexy no longer holds the crown!" I don´t think, that anyone ever have claimed, that T-rex would have been the biggest dinosaur, especially when compared to big herbivore dinosaurs. That Rex in name of the species doesn´t represent that. That kind of comparison would be the same as putting a lion side by side with an elephant... it´s self-evident to all, that an elephant is bigger. So in what way you saw T-rex "dethroned" when you wrote that? I don´t get it now, that where did that come when you wrote that. Nice pictures and models, but nothing new in saying, that biggest herbivores etc. are bigger than biggest carnivores. Everyone knows it.

Giganotosaurus the giant southern lizard (Diagrams by Franoys)
The holotype of Giganotosaurus , Mucpv Ch1. Originally described by Coria and Salgado in 1995. It's colosal size, comparable to Tyrannosaurus Rex, captivated a massive amount of attention. It was the first theropod ever to rival the size of Tyrannosaurus, and also the first super giant theropod discovered in the southern hemispher Only another specimen is known, a fragmentary dentary catalogued as Mucpv 95. Giganotosaurus is today classified as a Gondwanan Carcharodontosaurid, and as such is included in the subfamily Carcharodontosaurinae with Carcharodontosaurus, Tyrannotitan, and Mapusaurus. Tyrannotitan, Giganotosaurus and Mapusarusus also conform the tribe Giganotosaurini, with Tyrannotitan being the most basal member of the tribe. Giganotosaurus lived in what today is Argentina, between 100 and 97 million years ago (Cenomanian period, late cretaceous) *This image is copyright of its original author

I just doing some homework: 1- Fistly, plz notice the red circle in the image I post below:  *This image is copyright of its original author ---> in the red circle, there's a piece of bark slough off, I call that the-white-point ---> then compare the position of Bheem's head and Mr.X's head with the-white-point, so you guys will see Bheem's head in pic #1 overlap completely with Mr.X's fore paw in pic #2 ---> Mr.X's position was higher than Bheem's position (compare with that tree and the-white-point), that why Mr.X stretched full his body and Bheem was not. 2- I cut Bheem & that tree in pic #1 off and paste it in pic #2, and rotate a few degrees with photoshop ---> we have that image below:  *This image is copyright of its original author with the-white-point here:  *This image is copyright of its original author ---> so I think Bheem and Mr.X is quite similar size, Bheem's still longer, he's taller than X too (just look at the length of his arm and Mr.X's arm in every pic to see that). @Rage2277: Bheem has larger frame than Mr.X, but not like a male/female compare, it's male/male fairly I think ---> so what do u guys think? Again, @Pckts: thanks for share!

For me, Bheem has larger frame so his muscle is stretched along his body and limbs. Mr.X is shorter (in body length and limbs), seems denser muscle, more stocky and compact body mass. But Bheem's muscle seem more rough, he has the raw power and aggressive (based on his actual behavior). Bheem vs Mr.X comparison completely like the case of Bokha/Johbi (longer, taller) compared to B2/Bamera (denser, robust) I think Bheem is the most impressive male ever in Bandhavgarh, he is bigger frame than B2, Bamera and highly aggressive (just like Charger!). Love all of them (Bheem and Somashu, Uma and Chota Munna... Bandhavgarh, Kanha, Tadoba, Pench, Sunderban, Kazi...). For me the world seems to be boring without them |
