Size compared to a human. Maip is estimated to have been around 9–10 metres (30–33 ft) long in life. As such, it may be the largest megaraptorid currently known. Members of the Megaraptoridae as a whole increased in body length following the extinction of the carcharodontosaurids in the Southern Hemisphere in the early Late Cretaceous. [4]
The latest study highlights the role played by Australia’s dinosaurs in the ecosystems of the ancient world, a large part of which was clustered into the giant supercontinent Gondwanaland. These ...
The white-tailed eagle is sometimes considered the fourth largest eagle in the world [20] and is, on average, the fourth heaviest eagle in the world.

Accipitriformes, currently with 262 species and 75 genera in 4 extant families and possibly 1 extinct family, is the largest diurnal raptor order. DNA sequence analyses suggest that divergences within Accipitriformes began around the Eocene/Oligocene boundary about 34 mya, with the split of the group including genera Elanus and Gampsonyx from ...
