Average hippo (Wikimedia Commons) vs Allosaurus fragilis (UUVP 6000, by Hartman)
Hippo is scaled to 50-60 cm skull length while Allosaurus fragilis is 8.8 meters TL (stretched out, I think). Scalebar is one meter. On the bottom is skulls for each, both from Wikimedia Commons. Hippo skull is about 50-60 cm, give or take a few cm, while Allosaurus fragilis skull is about 85 cm not from the mandible, give or take a few cm. Scalebar is 10 cm.

Sue the Tyrannosaurus rex (12.3 meters, ~8 tonnes or a bit more) vs OMNH 1670 Apatosaurus (28.3 meters, ~52 tonnes, less than half grown) and the paratype of Mamenchisaurus sinocanadorum (35 meters, 75 tonnes). Skeletals are by Hartman, Hartman, and Greg Paul respectively, scalebar (on left) is 1 meter.

It's still less than the ratio of 10–15 : 1 for the African savannah elephant (Loxodonta africana) to the lion (Panthera leo), the largest known prey-to-predator weight ratio among extant terrestrial mammals, and this was calculated using the weights of sub-adult elephants and adult lions: https://www.researchgate.net/publication...k_Botswana, https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/...06.00626.x Savuti lions killing an elephant in Botswana: Lone lioness chasing an elephant:
^True, lions are 190 kg to a 5 tonne elephant.
Nonetheless, good findings.

The figure of about 10-11 tons is not a real figure, is just an estimation. Larrimendi (2016) knows that and he says: "Therefore, the tallest Loxodonta africana on record (396 cm) is predicted to have weighed 10.4 tonnes, 1.9 tonnes less than previous estimates (Wood 1982)." The original source, which is Gerard Wood, says clearly that the weight is just an estimation. In the book of 1978 you can found it in page No. 16. So, no real record of a 10 tons elephant. About real records, there are very few elephants actually weighed in the wild, but none of them surpass the 7 tons. Gerard Wood (1978) states that the heaviest African elephant ever weighed was a male of 6,640 kg shot in Tanzania in 1935. The animal was weighed in pieces on an scale with capacity of 272 kg. Apps (2012) just mention a figure of "up to 6 tonnes" but do not metion a particular specimen. Owen-Smith (1988) mention that the heaviest male African elephant was a huge male of 6,600 kg but it was from captivity. He also quotes that other males culled in Uganda and Zambia got masses of up to 5,500 to 6,000 kg, but those were just estimations. Skinner & Chimimba (2005) quotes that the heaviest male ever weighed was a huge specimen of 6,569 kg and quotes Moss (1976) for that record. Also mention another male of 6,004 kg from Zambia. Finally Poole at al. (2013; in Kingdon et al., 2013) mention a figure of "up to 6,048 kg" but do not present more details, they also quote the record elephants from Moss, so it will be interesting to see more details about that particular specimen, which based in the scientific documents, is the heaviest male "actualy" weighed. Let's see if I can get more information latter, for the moment this is what I have at hand in my books.

Sue is closer to 9 tons as I and countless others have told you multiple times now it's strange you can post the exact weights for most animals such as your oversized Mapusaurus (you have been told multiple times now how with the current fossil evidence we have it's unlikely that the largest Mapusaurus specimen is over 13 meters and its closer to 12.2 to 12.6 m)but when it comes to Sue you can never put the exact weight such as 8400 kg if its Hartmans old Sue or 8830 kg if you go by Franoys. stop ignoring information because you don't like it. Also, you have been told here before there is no need for descriptions like the one you have posted here. It's childish and it also shows you have an issue with the animal (whether you want to admit it or not) Stop downplaying Tyrannosaurus just because you have a bias against the animal these are the exact reasons why so many people get angry at you and why you have been stopped from being able to post anywhere on the discord apart from the shitpost server. No one here downplays Carnosaurs or sauropods because it's childish. Stop ignoring people because you do not like what they have to say especially when they are using the most current data to support what they are saying. Anything you have to say regarding Tyrannosaurus should be taken with a grain of salt because you have a reputation of downplaying the animal.
Just a size comp. Chillax.
Anyhow, here's another good one: BYU 12183 Triceratops (scaled to 2.5 meter skull length, 8.6 tonnes using this skeletal) and UCMP 128561 Triceratops (scaled to 2.7 meters skull length, 11 tonnes using this skeletal) vs Dreadnoughtus holotype (26 meters TL, 46 tonnes, still a juvenile). Scalebar is 1 meter, Triceratops skeletal is by Hartman while UCMP 128561's head is by Eofauna, Dreadnoughtus is by the paper describing it.
