The largest known carnivorous pseudosuchian of the Triassic is loricatan Fasolasuchus tenax, which measured an estimated of 8 to 10 m (26 to 33 ft). [323] [324] [325] It is both the largest "rauisuchian" known to science, and the largest non-dinosaurian terrestrial predator ever discovered.
Giganotosaurus was one of the largest known terrestrial carnivores, but the exact size has been hard to determine due to the incompleteness of the remains found so far. Estimates for the most complete specimen range from a length of 12 to 13 m (39 to 43 ft), a skull 1.53 to 1.80 m (5.0 to 5.9 ft) in length, and a weight of 4.2 to 13.8 t (4.6 to ...
The biggest carnivorous synapsid of Early Permian was Dimetrodon, which could reach 4.6 m (15 ft) and 250 kg (550 lb). [71] The largest members of the genus Dimetrodon were also the world's first fully terrestrial apex predators. [72] Tappenosaurids (Tappenosauridae)
Saurophaganax was the largest carnivore found in the Morrison Formation, bigger than both its contemporaries Torvosaurus tanneri and Allosaurus fragilis, reaching 10.5 metres (34 ft) in length and 2.7–3.8 metric tons (3.0–4.2 short tons) in body mass. [16] [17] [18] [19]
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 ...
When first describing Andrewsarchus, Osborn believed it to be the largest terrestrial, carnivorous mammal. Based on the length of the A. mongoliensis holotype skull, and using the proportions of Mesonyx , he estimated a total body length of 3.82 m (12.5 ft) and a body height of 1.89 m (6.2 ft). [ 1 ]
Spinosaurus is the longest known terrestrial carnivore; other large carnivores comparable to Spinosaurus include theropods such as Tyrannosaurus, Giganotosaurus and Carcharodontosaurus. The most recent study suggests that previous body size estimates are overestimated, and that S. aegyptiacus reached 14 m (46 ft) in length and 7.4 t (8.2 short ...
