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 ...
With a length of around 2 m (6 ft 7 in) it was one of the biggest predators of Mallorca during the Early Pliocene. [274] The largest known blind snake is Boipeba tayasuensis with estimated total length of 1.1 m (3 ft 7 in). [275] The largest known land lizard is probably megalania (Varanus priscus) at 7 m (23 ft) in length. [276]

Size comparison of the Sagauni 1 specimen, estimated to be 4.35 metres tall, compared to a human. Like living elephants, Palaeoloxodon namadicus is thought to have been sexually dimorphic, with males considerably larger than females, with the skull of a P. namadicus male found in the Godavari valley described in 1905 being a full 40% larger than that of a mature female (NHMUK PV M3092, which ...
Argentinosaurus (meaning "lizard from Argentina") is a genus of giant sauropod dinosaur that lived during the Late Cretaceous period in what is now Argentina.Although it is only known from fragmentary remains, Argentinosaurus is one of the largest known land animals of all time, perhaps the largest, measuring 30–35 m (98–115 ft) long and weighing 65–80 t (72–88 short tons).
“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 ...
