English: A comparison of several size estimates for Deinosuchus, a giant Late Cretaceous crocodilian. The largest credible specimen of modern C. porosus (saltwater crocodile) is also included in the diagram for comparison, as is an average height human.

Despite its large size, the overall appearance of Deinosuchus was not considerably different from that of modern crocodilians. Deinosuchus had an alligator-like, broad snout, with a slightly bulbous tip. [8] Each premaxilla contained four teeth, with the pair nearest to the tip of the snout being significantly smaller than the other two. [13]
Size of three specimens (holotype in green) compared to a human. Deinocheirus is the largest ornithomimosaurian (ostrich dinosaur) discovered; according to the 2014 description, the largest known specimen measured about 11 m (36 ft) long, with an estimated weight of 6.36 t (7.01 short tons). [1]
A pair of researchers with the University of Iowa decided to re-examine existing fossils of the Deinosuchus, a prehistoric ancestor of crocodiles and alligators estimated to be about 33-feet-long ...
Scale diagram comparing a human and the longest-known dinosaurs of five major clades An adult male bee hummingbird, the smallest known and the smallest living dinosaur. Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists.
As a result, they portrayed the film's dinosaurs with the size, proportions, and snout shape of Deinonychus. [2] The 20-foot-long (6.1 m) Utahraptor is commonly considered to be a close match to the film's dinosaurs, which are much larger than either Deinonychus or Velociraptor were in life. [81] [82]
“For over 100 million years when dinosaurs were the dominant predators, mammals were generally small, nocturnal, and short-lived.” The pressure to stay alive eliminated the genes needed for ...
Size comparison of various spinosaurids (Suchomimus in magenta, second from right) with a human The length of the type specimen of Suchomimus , with undetermined age, reached 9.5–11 metres (31–36 ft) in length and weighed 2.5–3.8 metric tons (2.8–4.2 short tons).
