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.

I have the immense fortune of working in my country's WWF reserve and dealing with various species of birds of prey in aviaries.

Here is a somewhat peculiar comparison that I don't think has ever been posted here, a peregrine falcon feather (left, 20 cm) compared to a kestrel feather (right, 7.7 cm)

If I am lucky enough, I will be able to get an eagle owl's feather from their avaries in the next days/week. Those feathers are truly massive and if I get one I promise I will compare them to the ones I got today

From left to right 

-Peregrine Falcon ~20 cm
-Peregrine Falcon ~ 9.5 cm
-Common Kestrel ~ 12.2 cm
-Common Kestrel ~ 8 cm

And the last three are all from the majestic Eagle owl!!! 
Respectively of 23.1 cm, 13 cm, 13 cm

Mainecoon, the largest domestic cat breed. 
The largest males can touch 10 - 14 kgs, as heavy as an average coyote from smaller populations

The size of this smilodon populator is too exaggerated. In Facts smilodons (populator or fatalis) have a smaller head than the modern lion, whether in average or maximum size. This smilodon has a head that is almost twice that of a lion, which is completely unrealistic.
This comparison is just fantasy more than anything.

Yes, unrealistic, only to show how impressive is the artwork and a scale for amazement. Almost 900 lbs and 4 ft is realistic ,if not the largest. No idea about the largest skull? I believe they in general had smaller skulls than lions.
