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.

Here's an updated version of a previously posted size chart. American mastodon vs Mapusaurus - average vs average and max vs max. On top is average vs average, with AMNH 9950 (289 cm shoulder height, 7.8 tonnes) and MCF-PVPH-108.169 (12.47 meters along the curves, 7 tonnes). Scalebar on lower right is 1 meter. On the bottom is 595BS71 (325 cm shoulder height, 11 tonnes) vs MCF-PVPH-108.145 (13.6 meters along the curves*, 8.5 tonnes). Scalebar on bottom left is 1 meter. American mastodon skeletals and top views are by Larramendi, while Mapusaurus skeletal and top view skulls are by Franoys and the rest of the Mapusaurus top view is scaled and modified from Bates Acrocanthosaurus. Size comparisons are not to scale with one another.

*To those whom it may concern, I am well aware of MCF-PVPH-108.145's nature and that it could very well be different than what this chart depicts. This is just 1 estimation.
