All of them roughly to scale with a 5 meter Great White Shark! Well, no wonder Spino grew that big! Great work

I mean usually fish are heavier than similarly sized land animals due to water supporting their weight so how much did Mawsonia weigh and what are the other 2 fish? Yep, I'll make one, and the other two fish are Nedoceratodus (The tan one), and Bawitius.

The specimen includes the skull, all cervical vertebra and no.1~3 thoracic vertebra,some rib pieces debris,the scapula, humeru, ulna and radiu of the left side. According to this sample, I can reasonably calculate it size, Dinocrocuta gigantea shoulder height is about 1.38 ~ 1.42 m. Certainly, this results may not be accurate, only as a reference. sinammonite - deviantART

The artist is providing the plates for most of the books in the colossal series, Handbook of Mammals of the World. I find her plates to be quite accurate and lifelike, with the latter trait being something generally lacking in illustrated representations of animals. Here are some examples of her work from the Handbook of Mammals of the World: Volumes I (Carnivores) and II (Hoofed Mammals) (Please note that they are big pictures) Panthera pardus Various Caninae Various Viverridae Lutrinae (The only comparison for otters I have ever seen) Procyonidae Giraffidae Alces spp. and Rangifer spp. Rhinoceratidae Various Caprinae Various Bovinini (Another awesome comparison) Check out the artist's website here: http://www.tonillobet.com/en/handbook-of-the-mammals-of-the-world/ Edited by Sicilianu, Apr 22 2013, 11:39 AM.

I was thinking of getting the carnivore one, but it is already a bit dated, and I have way more books on different carnivorans than I do for hoofed animals.

Heterotrophic Organism Posts: 474 Group: Members Member #240 Joined: Mar 15, 2012	MightyKharza Apr 3 2013, 06:33 AM The wolf taxonomy is all over the place. "Grey wolf" encompasses the species as a whole. It's not a distinct subspecies... I think the pictures are good, but it did puzzle me a bit when I got to the wolf variation part. Grey wolf is the species, but the wolf subspecies which is the original grey wolf is the Eurasian wolf. So the question is: Which subspecies of wolf is the "grey wolf" in the picture?

palaeontology, open source and survival enthusiast Posts: 9,345 Group: Members Member #301 Joined: Apr 29, 2012	You mean the eurasian wolf is the type subspecies of C. lupus? It is a bit confusing that "grey wolf" is used as if it was its own subspecies while it is the species.
