Taipan Sep 25 2013, 06:13 PM Measurements of the baculum length (in mm) and aproximate worldwide average male body size (in Kg) for the eight extant species of Ursidae and the estimated average size calculated for the males of Indarctos arctoides from Batallone-3. Source Now, I have no idea why they would compare linear measurements to body mass. Sun bear: 13.3 Sloth bear: 31.5 Giant panda: 4.1 Spectacled bear: 20.8 American black bear: 26.4 Asiatic black bear: 22.3 Brown bear: 21.2 Indarctos arctoides: 36.3 Ursus maritimus: 23.5 Of course, I have no idea what these numbers are supposed to mean. I guess I'd have to read the article for that. Edited by Ursus arctos, Sep 27 2013, 12:52 AM.

Here's a comparison between the two of the most impressive members of their respective families ..The Utahraptor and Smilodon Populator Anyone having an interesting idea for a comparison, feel free to make a request, provided you give a quality and accurate photos/depictions Edited by Sam1, Feb 12 2014, 08:17 AM.

Herbivore Posts: 977 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: Jan 8, 2012	Thanks. Though the Smilodon depiction is in too low resolution. If you have some really good depictions of both, show them here (if thats ok with taipan) or send me a message and I'll make another comparo

Herbivore Posts: 977 Group: Members Member #16 Joined: Jan 8, 2012	It is about 1.35m at the shoulder(a bit generous actually) while the raptor is ~1.75m at the shoulder(a bit conservative actually)

I propose Archaeopteryx, whose silhouette is here: http://www.skeletaldrawing.com/theropods/archaeopteryx For pidgeons, well, there is a wide range of candidates https://www.google.it/search?q=pidgeon&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=i1f7UpimLejP4QSG2oHYAg&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=643

I use Gimp by the way. Sorry but I can't be of much help with that since I use a Galaxy Note 3 and Sketchbook Pro app.. the S Pen makes using the erasing tool really easy. But in general, I'd say you need a grid layer(which you can leave or remove when finished)for a size reference, upon which you add layers with the photos, and then use the erasing tool for outlining the silhouettes..or you can pick photos with white backgrounds and just mix them up, changing the resolution of each to the calculated values in relation to the animals. I hope that wasn't too complicated to understand

Kind of a tricky one since there is a huge size and subspecies span between those two. Sheroo, I must say that the megalodon is absurdly huge on that one, while Livyatan is barely any bigger than Orca which is even more absurd. The pliosaur is too big also.. overall, tendentiously ruined otherwise a good compilation of depictions
