It looks to have a nasty maw to begin with. Why it would even need the venom is beyond me, though it probably worked similarly to Komodos in its utilization. |

Euchambersia was fairly small, and probably had to take down larger prey like dicynodonts. Venom would have come in handy. |

So far, my guess is it's definitely, on average, not as long as a meter. So yes, venom to take down the larger dicynodonts would certainly be handy. Looks like BBC got something right. What are your opinions? Should I scrap the Inostrancevia-Euchambersia proportion on the other page? It seems to me to be a little too large of an estimate. |

I have decided to keep the Inostrancevia-Euchambersia proportion, and I am adding a Lycosuchus-Euchambersia proportion as well. I set up a proportion, and ended with the result of 60.50cm body length. Proportion and Result: 23cm/120=11.6cm/x, x=60.5cm All together: Estimate 1: 110.84cm body length Estimate 2: 38.67cm body length Estimate 3: 69.60cm body length Estimate 4: 69.60cm body length Estimate 5: 47.98cm body length Estimate 6: 60.50cm body length While I will update it, for now these are my results: Range: 72.17cm Average: 66.2cm. Conclusions (still kinda a work in progress): I believe that the estimated body length of 110.84cm is the general area of maximum, and 38.67cm as the general area of minimum. The most likely average body length is 66.2cm. |
