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.

Oh no, the size adjustment is perfectly accurate... not my issue.
Till what age do elephants grow? Do they keep gaining mass well into adulthood?
One last thing, the Lions mane is also a characteristic of Crater males, covering the shoulder which also makes me think the photo is correct.
In regards to your question, I'm not sure but I thought about that when you commented on the T-REX not being fully grown until the age of 30, I'd assume itd be similar to that. The reason why I said he'd probably still have some growing to do was because without question, the largest bulls always had worn down tusks and they were unlike anything I've seen in the wild. I had no idea they could get so massive, they'd dwarf even the largest Bulls I saw inside the Serengeti.
