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 ...
Other species may have filled this niche in the Pliocene, [93] [97] such as the fossil killer whale Orcinus citoniensis which may have been a pack predator and targeted prey larger than itself, [30] [98] [99] [100] but this inference is disputed, [23] and it was probably a generalist predator rather than a marine mammal specialist.

Based on the size of the vertebrae, Titanoboa is the largest snake in the paleontological record. In modern constrictors like boids and pythonids , increased body size is achieved through larger vertebrae rather than an increase in the number of bones making up the skeleton, allowing for length estimates based on individual bones.
The largest dinosaurs, and the largest animals to ever live on land, were the plant-eating, long-necked Sauropoda. The tallest and heaviest sauropod known from a complete skeleton is a specimen of an immature Giraffatitan discovered in Tanzania between 1907 and 1912, now mounted in the Museum für Naturkunde of Berlin.
