    Bathornithids, which were similar in ecology and are likely close relatives of phorusrhacids, existed entirely within North America during part of the Cenozoic and competed successfully for a time with large carnivorans such as nimravids, [17] before becoming extinct in the Early Miocene, about 20 million years ago.

    This makes J. monesi the biggest rodent ever discovered. It was much larger than J. magna , giant hutia or the largest living rodent, the capybara , which averages 60 kg (130 lb). J. monesi also had a massive bite force of approximately 1,400 N (310 lb f ) at the incisors (on par with large carnivores) and 5,000 N (1,100 lb f ) at the third ...

    The reports of blood-sucking by the chupacabra were never confirmed by a necropsy, [1] the only way to conclude that the animal was drained of blood.

    If the upper estimates of the 2023 records are accurate, Bruhathkayosaurus may have rivaled the blue whale as one of the largest animals to ever exist. [3] However, all of the estimates are based on the dimensions of the fossils described in Yadagiri and Ayyasami (1987), and in 2017, it was reported that the holotype fossils had disintegrated ...

    But in later studies, animals of this species estimated to have grown to at least 23.2 cm (9.1 in) (snout-vent length), which is around the size a modern African bullfrog can reach. [5] The head of Beelzebufo was very big, [ 5 ] and bones of the skull roof show a rugous external surface, indicating at least parts of the head may have borne bony ...

    Knowledge of Deinosuchus remains incomplete, but better cranial material found in recent years has expanded scientific understanding of this massive predator. Although Deinosuchus was far larger than any modern crocodile or alligator, with the largest adults measuring 10.6 meters (35 ft) in total length, its overall appearance was fairly ...
