Size comparisons

[GuateGojira]

Ok, I made my own comparative image to check something here and I found something interesting:

I think that the model of Livyatan from "Smilodon Maximus" should have a slightly longer mouth, as we can see here, in that form it match the real skull of the cetacean. Please check that I did not use the last tip of the tail fluke to match the 17.5 meters, but the end of the last tail vertebrae. As this is especulative, I used the image from Jaime Bran to calculate it.

Then we can see the Megalodon at 16 meters and at 20 meters (using the TLn form) with the bulky form. Now, I see that LoveAnimals is right, if the Megalodon of 16 meters would weight 60+ tonnes, then the bigger one should weight more. However, in the same token, I also see here that the weight of Livyatan shold be more too, as the smaller shark is already weighing over the 57 tonnes estimated by Villafaña et al. (2014).

From my point of view, the two beasts are still about the same body mass, whatever this was. Reply
