Size comparison between a human and two species of Basilosaurus, B. cetiodes (dark blue) and B. isis The heaviest archeocete , and possibly the heaviest known mammal was Perucetus , with weight estimated at 85–340 t (84–335 long tons; 94–375 short tons), while length is estimated at 17.0–20.1 meters (55.8–65.9 ft), [ 108 ] possibly ...
For comparison, the wandering albatross has the largest wingspan of living birds at up to 3.5 m (11 ft) but usually weighs less than 12 kilograms (26 lb). This indicates that the largest pterosaurs may have had higher wing loadings than modern birds (depending on wing profile ) and this has implications for the manner in which pterosaur flight ...
Iguanas vary considerably in size and form, but even the smallest lizards in this family are still quite large. Many sources describe the green iguana ( Iguana iguana ) as the largest iguanid , often reaching lengths up to 1.5 metres (4.91 ft) and masses of 4 kg (8.8 lb), [ 75 ] and with a maximum length of 2 m (6.6 ft) and a mass of 8 kg (18 ...
They include anacondas, pythons and boa constrictors, which are all non-venomous constrictors. The longest venomous snake , with a length up to 18.5–18.8 ft (5.6–5.7 m), is the king cobra , [ 1 ] while contesters for the heaviest title include the Gaboon viper and the Eastern diamondback rattlesnake .
Size is an important aspect of dinosaur paleontology, of interest to both the general public and professional scientists. Dinosaurs show some of the most extreme variations in size of any land animal group, ranging from tiny hummingbirds , which can weigh as little as two grams, to the extinct titanosaurs , such as Argentinosaurus and ...

This is a list of extant species in the Felidae family, which aims to evaluate their size, ordered by maximum reported weight and size of wild individuals on record. The list does not contain cat hybrids, such as the liger or tigon.
In 2012, Conrad and colleagues estimated the size of megalania based on comparing two known specimens with all known species of Varanus. The authors of the study suggested that the braincase (BMNH 39965) likely belonged to an individual around 1.78–1.9 m (5.8–6.2 ft) in precaudal length, while the largest specimen available to them (AMNH FR ...
