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 ...
The largest known wild suid to ever exist was Kubanochoerus gigas, having measured up to 500 kg (1,100 lb) and stood around 1 m (3 ft 3 in) tall at the shoulder. [97] Megalochoerus could be similar in size, possibly weighing 303 kg (668 lb) or 526 kg (1,160 lb).

Paraceratherium is one of the largest known land mammals that have ever existed, but its precise size is unclear because of the lack of complete specimens. [4] Its total body length was estimated as 8.7 m (28.5 ft) from front to back by Granger and Gregory in 1936, and 7.4 m (24.3 ft) by the palaeontologist Vera Gromova in 1959, [ 33 ] but the ...
Researchers have uncovered fossils of giant predator worms, some of Earth’s earliest carnivorous animals that roamed the seas 518 million years ago.
Estimated to reach 34.2–37.8 cm (13.5–14.9 in) long excluding the frontal appendages and tail fan, [4] Anomalocaris is one of the largest animals of the Cambrian, and thought to be one of the earliest examples of an apex predator, [5] [6] though others have been found in older Cambrian lagerstätten deposits.
“They are the only group of birds that achieved the role of terrestrial apex predators, evolving species that basically conquered South America during the Miocene (about 23.03 million to 5.33 ...
