Megalodon teeth can measure over 180 millimeters (7.1 in) in slant height (diagonal length) and are the largest of any known shark species, [29]: 33 implying it was the largest of all macropredatory sharks. [35] In 1989, a nearly complete set of megalodon teeth was discovered in Saitama, Japan.
Since A. magnificens is known to have lived in terrestrial environments, another good point of comparison is the Andean condor, the largest extant flighted land bird both in average wingspan and weight, with the former spanning up to 3.3 m (10 ft 10 in) with an average of around 2.82 m (9 ft 3 in), and the latter reaching a maximum of up to 15 ...
Fasolasuchus is likely the largest known "rauisuchian", with an estimated length of 8 m (26 ft) [3] to 10 m (33 ft). [ 4 ] [ 5 ] This would make Fasolasuchus the largest terrestrial predator to have ever existed save for large theropods , surpassing the Cenozoic Barinasuchus , the "rauisuchian" counterpart Saurosuchus at 7 metres (23 ft), and ...
The biggest odobenid and one of the biggest pinnipeds to have ever existed is Pontolis magnus, with a skull length of 60 cm (24 in) (twice as large as the skulls of modern male walruses) [159] and having a total body length of more than 4 m (13 ft). [160] [161] Only the modern male elephant seals reach similar sizes. [160]
“They are the only group of birds that achieved the role of terrestrial apex predators, evolving species that basically conquered South America during the Miocene (about 23.03 million to 5.33 ...

It is one of the largest flying birds known to have existed, only likely exceeded by measurement of wingspan by Pelagornis sandersi, discovered in 1983. [6] Fossil remains of this species have been dated to Late Miocene, about 6 to 8 million years ago, and one of the few teratorn finds in South America.
