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 ...
By comparison, the large females of this species reach total lengths of 2 m (6.6 ft) and probably some 10 kg (22 lb) in weight. This is the most extreme sexual size dimorphism known among non-microscopic animals, [nb 3] with mature females being at least 10,000 times heavier than males, and likely up to 40,000 times heavier.

English: A comparison of several size estimates for Deinosuchus, a giant Late Cretaceous crocodilian. The largest credible specimen of modern C. porosus (saltwater crocodile) is also included in the diagram for comparison, as is an average height human.

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 ...
Titanosauria have the largest range of body size of any sauropod clade, and includes both the largest known sauropods and some of the smallest. [25] One of the largest titanosaurs, Patagotitan, had a body mass estimated to be 69 tonnes (76 tons), whereas one of the smallest, Magyarosaurus, had a body mass of approximately 900 kilograms (2,000 lb).
English: Scale diagram comparing a human and the largest specimens of two stegosaurus species. Size based on: S. ungulatus (YPM 1853) - Holtz, Thomas R. Jr. (2012) Dinosaurs: The Most Complete, Up-to-Date Encyclopedia for Dinosaur Lovers of All Ages, Winter 2011 Appendix. S. stenops (USNM 4934) - Galton, Peter. (2010).
It was estimated to grow around the same size as the aforementioned domestic horse. The largest of the tapirs is the Malayan tapir (Acrocodia indica), the only member of the family outside of South America. Maximum size is about 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length, 1.2 m (3.9 ft) tall at the shoulder, and up to 540 kg (1,190 lb) in weight. [96]
[41] [24] In comparison, large great white sharks are generally around 6 meters (20 ft) in length, with a few contentious reports suggesting larger sizes. [42] [43] [35] The whale shark is the largest living fish, with one large female reported with a precaudal length of 15 meters (49 ft) and an estimated total length of 18.8 meters (62 ft).
