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.
Updated comparison: remade this with the new version of SpinoInWonderland's Spinosaurus.

Short faced bear vs Yutyrannus, average vs average (FMNH PR 24880 vs ZCDM V 5000).
Short faced bear is scaled to 45 cm skull length and Yutyrannus is scaled to 7.5+ meters TL. Both weigh about 1 tonne.
Skeletals by Greg Paul and the Alaska government.
Here are the skulls compared of an average bull hippopotamus and Elvis the Torvosaurus, scaled to 60 and 132 cm respectively. Both animals should weigh about 1.5 tonnes.
The skull size difference between the 2 specimens is quite impressive - hippos are often noted for the massive size of their heads, and yet the skull of one looks absolutely PUNY compared to an equivalently sized Elvis (who, on a side note, may have the biggest head proportionally of any predatory dinosaur we have found so far).
Credit goes to Bethany Pyles (Pinterest) for the hippo skull, and GetAwayTrike for the Torvosaurus skull.
Sarkastodon vs Torvosaurus, max vs max (AMNH 26641 vs MB.R.3620).
Sarkastodon is scaled to 60-65 cm SH and is 300-350 kg, while Torvosaurus is scaled to 13.66 meters TL and is 5.24 tonnes. Credit goes to Blazze92 and GetAwayTrike for the Sarkastodon and the Torvosaurus respectively.
Here are the skulls of the short faced bear and Yutyrannus compared (FMNH PM 28840 vs ZCDM V 5000)
Short faced bear skull is scaled to 45 cm TL and is by blazze92, while Yutyrannus skull is scaled to 90.5 cm TL and is from Scott Hartman. Both specimens weigh about 1 tonne.
Yutyrannus vs Giganotosaurus, max vs max (ZCDM V 5000 vs MUCPv-95).
Yutyrannus is scaled to 85 cm femur and is about 1 tonne, while Giganotosaurus is scaled to 13.3+ meters TL and is 10.29 tonnes. Credit to Greg Paul for Yutyrannus and GetAwayTrike for Giganotosaurus.
Here are Europe's largest land mammal and largest dinosaur - Zygolophodon and the French Monster titanosaur.
Zygolophodon is 4.1 meters SH and is 16 tonnes, while the French Monster is based on Alamosaurus, scaled to the estimated 2.95 meter femur, and is 110 tonnes. Credit to Asier Larramendi for Zygolophodon and Scott Hartman for Alamosaurus/French Monster.
