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.

3.) The last picture with proportions is not correct

3 is more likely. With that proportions, it would be size of rhino but not as massive as that. May be about 2 tons being a carnivore... 3.6 tons for those proportions is too much. it makes him to move very slowly even his own weight will crush its bones (Bone has compressive strength of only about 1800 kg-f/cm2 at its maximum), and body needs lots of meat to sustain and with this type of gait, it can't even walk and hunting is even more difficult.
