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 ...
Megalodon teeth can measure over 180 millimeters (7.1 in) in slant height (diagonal length) and are the largest of any known shark species, [29]: 33 implying it was the largest of all macropredatory sharks. [35] In 1989, a nearly complete set of megalodon teeth was discovered in Saitama, Japan.
The biggest odobenid and one of the biggest pinnipeds to have ever existed is Pontolis magnus, with a skull length of 60 cm (24 in) (twice as large as the skulls of modern male walruses) [151] and having a total body length of more than 4 m (13 ft). [152] [153] Only the modern male elephant seals reach similar sizes. [152]

Jaekelopterus is the largest known eurypterid and the largest known arthropod to have ever existed. This was determined based on a chelicera (claw) from the Emsian Klerf Formation of Willwerath, Germany , that measures 36.4 centimetres (14.3 in) long, but is missing a quarter of its length, suggesting that the full chelicera would have been 45. ...
Livyatan is the largest fossil sperm whale discovered, and was also one of the biggest-known predators, having the largest bite of any tetrapod. [1] [8] Diagram comparing the upper and lower size estimates of Livyatan (bottom three) with the size of mature sperm whales, including one of the largest individuals recorded (top three), and a human
This makes J. monesi the biggest rodent ever discovered. It was much larger than J. magna , giant hutia or the largest living rodent, the capybara , which averages 60 kg (130 lb). J. monesi also had a massive bite force of approximately 1,400 N (310 lb f ) at the incisors (on par with large carnivores) and 5,000 N (1,100 lb f ) at the third ...
