Size comparisons

[DinoFan83]

Here are some size comparisons of Simbakubwa and some large African theropods. Simbakubwa by KookaburraSurvivor, Torvosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus by GetAwayTrike and SpinoInWonderland.

Simbakubwa vs the largest known terrestrial theropod from Africa:
Simbakubwa vs Carcharodontosaurus, max vs max (KNM-ME 20A vs SGM-DIN 1). Simbakubwa is scaled to 40 cm dentary and is probably about 500-600 kg, while Carcharodontosaurus is 13.23 meters TL and 9+ tonnes.

Simbakubwa's skull vs the largest estimated African theropod skull:
Skulls of Simbakubwa and Torvosaurus, largest specimens for both (KNM-ME 20A and MB.R.3620). Simbakubwa's skull is 58.3 cm long and probably belongs to an animal about 500-600 kg as stated above, while the estimated skull length for this Torvosaurus specimen is 174.5 cm and it most likely belonged to an animal about 5.24 tonnes.

As we can see, while Simbakubwa is a very large predator by mammalian standards and one of the largest mammalian land predators of all, it is thoroughly outclassed in terms of both overall size and skull size with some of Africa's large theropods, large Torvosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. Reply
