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.

I made this comparison photo just for curiosity to see what it looks like to have one around average polar bear, what comes to the shoulder height in comparison with around average tiger. This photo below is scaled so, that polar bear is with approximately 140 cm shoulder height, while tiger 100 cm. It can be debated for sure what are average measurements of a polar bear, but main idea is to have a comparison in which neither one is the biggest possible. 

Polar bear walks in the snow and I tried to take it into account in measurement. When looking at nose to rump body length tiger is around 190 cm, maybe a bit more and polar bear seems to be around 240-260 cm, so I think that this comparison photo is quite fair considering it, that it´s difficult to find good photos to use so, that both animals would be close to same posture.

I forgot to put this in that earlier posting to show the points I used. Both photos are scaled based on shoulder heights while keeping original body proportions untouched.

Here are the skulls of a 2 tonne hippo (60 cm) and a 447 kg Yutyrannus (specimen ZCDM V5001, 80 cm) compared.
Something interesting to note is that even though the theropod is less than one quarter the mass of the hippo, it still has a skull that is 1/3 larger lengthwise and a good deal more robust.

3 very impressive theropod skulls compared - from left to right, Megalosaurus, Yutyrannus, and Carcharodontosaurus.
The Megalosaurus skull is estimated at 140.4 cm long for specimen BMNH R1101 and likely belongs to an animal around 2 tonnes, the Yutyrannus skull is estimated at 90.5 cm long for specimen ZCDM V5000 and belongs to an animal about 1 tonne, and the Carcharodontosaurus skull is estimated at 161 cm long for specimen SGM-DIN 1 and likely belongs to an animal over 9 tonnes.
