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.

B. fricki has some proximal long bones on record, however I could not find any sources that give their measurements. However, there is a good study on the cranial anatomy of the species (see attached).

The skull here has a CBL of about 280 mm. From Baskin (2005, the largest B. loveorum skull has a CBL 239 mm. If we assume that this skull correlates with the largest humerus (281 mm) and femur (291 mm) of the sample size, this B. fricki would have a humerus of c. 330 mm and femur of c. 341 mm. Both of these are in frame the size of a small lion or tiger. If we account for the species' robusticity, it would be reasonalbe to infer that body mass-wise, B. fricki would overlap with modern lions and tigers.
