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.

I went to the L.A. One yesterday, I'll post pictures tomorrow but a few things I saw.
I have read that the African elephant is of similar size to a T-Rex but I say no way!
The t-Rex's they have there are massive. Larger than the mammoth skeleton and the elephants on display, larger by a huge margin. At least the ones there. I will say that the mammoth does look like it could carry more weight for its length but not enough to make up the size difference between the two.
The triceratops skull is absolutely massive, far larger than any rhino or hippo I have ever seen. They would be a serious handful for any sized predator.
The American lion was far taller than the smilodon fatalis and longer, probably not longer proportionally but longer none the less. A much more impressive skeleton.
The ancient Naegele's jaguar or Panthera Atrox lower jaw is far more massive and impressive compared to the short faced bear.
The short faced bear skull is much larger than a grizzly or black bears.
Once again this is only a couple of specimens and most of the sex's were unknown and ages.
All and all, it was awesome.
If any body has images or information from ones they have seen, feel free to post.
