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.

The equation used to estimate the weight of the Uruguay skull is not a good predictor however based on body mapping/GDI 400+ kg is still probably right for it.
I wonder if this skull will get any confirmation in the upcoming future, however I guess that isometric scaling for other specimens can lead us to create a model with proportions based on known specimens and see what the GDI gives us as final value
