European Wildcat - Felis sylvestris silvestris The European wildcat (Felis silvestris silvestris) is a subspecies of the wildcat that inhabits European forests, as well as forested areas in Turkey and the Caucasus Mountains. The European wildcat is much bigger and stouter than the domestic cat, has longer fur and a shorter non-tapering bushy tail. It has a striped fur and a dark dorsal band. Males average a weight of 5 kg (11 lb) up to 8 kg (18 lb), and females 3.5 kg (7.7 lb). Their weight fluctuates seasonally up to 2.5 kg (5.5 lb). Throughout its range, small rodents (mice, voles, and rats) are the wildcat's primary prey, followed by birds (especially ducks and other waterfowl, galliformes, pigeons and passerines), dormice, hares, nutria, and insectivores. ![]() Buriolestes schultzi Buriolestes is a genus of early sauropodomorph dinosaurs from the Late Triassic of Brazil. Although Buriolestes superficially resembles the predatory theropod dinosaurs, with jaws lined by finely serrated and slightly curved teeth well-adapted to a carnivorous diet, it in fact is an early member of the otherwise-herbivorous Sauropodomorpha, the group that gave rise to the giant sauropods. Weight? : Buriolestes schultzi was 1,5 meter long, 50 cm high and weighed 7 kg. ![]()
1 on 1 maybe be better against an equally weighted Wildcat. |

I don't really know much about the sauropodomorph, but it does seem like a close fight considering that it has at least decent weaponry.![]() On the other hand, maybe the cat is a bit heavier built and has good grasping capabilities but it's rather difficult for me to make a proper decision on this match-up mostly because of my lack of knowledge on these kinds of dinosaurs.

![]() ^ If that size comparison is accurate, and I highly doubt it, the cat is in a spot of bother. |
