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.

Regarding height and body length estimations, I've yet to see a source (except Christiansen and Adolffsen 2007) that a gave a value which I can mathematically verify. Most looked at a single bone which they assumed was large, and extended it to the easy 120 cm x 200 cm figure. However, in terms of M. kabir, Turner and Anton's estimate was (coincidentally?) on point, as a 417 mm does come around to such a value.
I estimated M. kabir somewhere in this thread using Christiansen's equations if anyone is interested.
