Some other "sources" say that the 8.8m specimen is not C. dentisulcatus but MWC 1 which is the holotype of C. magnicornis... but that one had a femur just 630mm (C. nasicornis holotype is 620mm) so it is just false.

Kelenken based on the 71cm long skull (in my comparison it has ~ 70cm long skull, but i don't think that 1cm would make a big deference) and The Bengal Tiger is ~ 95cm tall at the shoulder. Size Comparison between Kelenken and Bengal Tiger. Both done by Prehistoric Cat. Edited by DinosaurMichael, Jul 19 2012, 03:15 AM.

Herbivore Posts: 977 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: Jan 8, 2012	Thanks for bringing those amazing comparisons back, Dino Mike! Theropod, do you really believe a 12m dromeosaur being possible? I have a hard time imagining it

Utahraptor ostromaysorum: 12m (rumoured unstudied specimen) and 7m \| Austroraptor cabazai: 5m Your Utahraptor looks bulky !! it won't be fast with that body Remember that it looks bulkier with the feathers, and that it is the most bulky dromaeosaur, so I don´t think it´s inaccurate, nor do I think that the animal would be slow. Even hippos are very fast. @sam1: I´m not the one who came up with that 12m utahraptor. It´s from this page: http://dml.cmnh.org/2003Jul/msg00355.html I myself don´t really believe in it, it seems a bit exagerated to me, but who knows. I included it because I though when I´m doing a scale, showing all possible size estimates can´t hurt.
