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 ...
Although reliable size and weight estimates for most known spinosaurids are hindered by the lack of good material, all known spinosaurids were large animals. [21] The smallest genus known from good material is Irritator , which was between 6 and 8 meters (20 and 26 feet) long and around 1 metric ton (1.1 short tons ; 0.98 long tons ) in weight.

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 ...
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 ...
