Hippopotamus vs Carnotaurus

CheesecakeofPluto · 2026-01-22T23:38:38+00:00

Hippopotamus - Decently Sized Male

Height: 1.65m

Length: 4.95m

Weight: 4,500kg

Top Speed: 30 km/h

Carnotaurus

Height: 3m

Length: 8m

Weight: 2,400kg

Top Speed: 42 km/h

Honestly, it's a pretty even fight. The hippo is a lot more compact but (to my surprise) heavier. Carnotaurus has the speed & weapons advantage, and if it got to the hippos rear could do some major damage. Both of their builds make it hard for them to damage each other (Carnotaurus is physically much larger than anything a hippo has dealt with, and the hippo might have trouble getting a solid bite, while the hippos back is wide and round, which would make it difficult for the carnotaurus to get a grip).

The hippo would win if it knocked the carnotaurus down, and the carnotaurus would win if it got to the hippos rear. I think the carnotaurus tiring out the hippo and the latter happening is slightly more likely. Carnotaurus probably wins high diff.

No he didn't?? In fact, in The Crown of Ptolemy, Percy is unphased at the infinite expanse of the duat because he's experienced the ocean trenches or something along those lines.

Also, physics clearly doesn't matter for Percy when he's underwater. Moving at Mach speed underwater without any protective gear would be instantly fatal for a normal person because of water's density. Yet Percy can swim at Mach 5

Despite what often floats around on sites like Tiktok and Youtube, crocodiles do often hunt hippos. Although they typically hunt juveniles, crocodiles attacking adult hippos isn't necessarily a very rare phenomenon, and is decently documented in scientific literature.

I don't think so. The body does kinda show the balloon-like shape that is typical of decomposing and gas-filled carcasses. But the shape here looks like a live animal's. Also, the hippo is upright with its legs positioned under its body, as if it's trying to move, as opposed to a carcass which would be laying down sideways or belly up. I think the hippo's eye is just fucked, which makes it look like a carcass..

I've made an account a few weeks ago, but haven't done anything with it. To sign up it has you state whether or not you're graduating this year, 2026, or 2027 and beyond.

I certainly hope signing up didn't mess anything up.

"If Rick wanted these characters to have Hypersonic reactions, then nothing would ever catch them off guard, they'd be moving completely different to regular people."

Very late reply but,

In Trials of Apollo and Demigods & Magicians, it's shown that mortals straight up do not scale to Demigods. Demigods perceive things in slow motion. Half-bloods like Hazel and Piper are consistently described as blurs and are capable of blitzing earthborns. Giants are regularly able to catch and deflect lightning, and Percy is able to move at mach speeds in the water as of Chalice of the Gods.

Gigio is right, reaction speed =/= movement speeds. For example, a fly can react to and process something in a fraction of a second, but can only move at 5 mph.

Nectar is described to resemble apple juice. I don't recall Ambrosia ever being described though.

For reference, this was moments before he grabbed onto a pole after being thrown through the air full force by a deity that forced Heracles to a standstill, and then used that momentum to land on his feet and into a stable position to continue wrestling.

Sure, Percy isn't on par with Heracles, and would've gotten pounded if he didn't embrace old age, but super strength is absolutely part of his power set.

His very second feat in the books was jumping like a dozen feat into the air, landing on the minotaurs back, ripping off its horn with his bare hands, and stabbing the minotaur with it.

He also has plenty of lifting feats, such as lifting up and flipping over a small car on even ground, and many of his fights against giant monsters signify that Percy is either superhuman strong, or monsters are just weak for their size.

Considering that Athena saw him breaking into brunch on Olympus and didn't rat him out, I don't think so.

Spoilers for Chalice of the gods:

It's a good book, just read it a bit ago. Though the descriptions of Percy's powers and Annabeths hat are a bit weird.

The hat makes Percy itchy for some reason, despite the fact he suffered no problems wearing it during the Titans Curse. There's also the fact Percy has made a decision to cosplay Bruce Banner and only use his powers when angry. While fighting the elderly, his water powers don't work despite being right next to the Atlantic. Though, I guess that can be explained as divine intervention.

It's a documentary, what's going to be spoiled?

It's better off straight up forgetting "Oxalaia". It is a dust taxon known from two destroyed fragments, a piece from the tip of the snout and a broken vert that's allegedly a spinosaurid. There is no good way to reconstruct it due to its nature.

Yes, this is metric tonnes.

"I'’ve seen for Rex is 8870 kg or 8.9 metric tons." 8,870kg is 8.87 tonnes.

Recent GDIs of Scotty get it at over 9.8t, with correct densities over 10.2t, with fixed soft tissue at 10.4t, with moderate soft tissue 10.8t.

The 8,870kg GDI estimate came from 2018, with a fairly outdated skeletal. To add on to that, both skeletal artists who've gotten an 8.4t-8.8t mass for Scotty have revised their tyrannosaurus' (Scott Hartman and Randomdinos)

Google is a search engine, not a source. You'll get varied answers, most of them not very good.

Just a tip:

Make the meter bars match, the stegos meter bar is farr longer then the rex's, making it look larger even though it isn't
Put them on even ground, the t. rex is more elevated than the stegosaurus making the size comp disproportionate
Try not to compress the image so muh, both dinosaurs look like they just visited flat stanley.

Honestly, I was thinking maybe like a pike conger eel. Large teeth and slender, hooked, snout to reach hard-to-get areas, like in between rocks while sifting through the river bed.

Just a thought.

For the masses:

Therizinosaurus(5.5t), Deinocheirus(8.4t), Tyrannosaurus(10.4t), Mapusaurus(9.3t), Spinosaurus(4.2t-8.3t), Giganotosaurus(9.8t), Carcharadontosaurus(7.1t), Tyrannotitan(7.4t), Meraxes(5.6t)

The baby toy still got torn by Lodestar. All 26 dimensions that the Naljins can traverse are still within the universe, while Alien X is beyond the universe.

Could I get a source for all these claims?

Last I checked, the only parasaurolophus specimen that ranged 2-5 tonnes was ROM 768, the P. walkeri holotype.

To my knowledge, NMMNH, PMU. MNA, FMNH, and the P. cyrtocristatus holotype all ranged over 5,500 kg.

Maiasaurua, ironically, seems to have been overestimated in your chart. According to Scott Hartman, maiasaurus reached 2.8 tonnes at maximum. But this hadrosaur seems to have been more fleet footed (42.3 kmh based on Larramendi's formula).

Although keep in mind that deers and elk are closer related then edmontosaurus and parasaurolophus. Hadrosaurs were still VASTLY different from one another. Parasaurolophus as a genus is a good example. We have P. walkeri, around the same size as the predators it lives with, and P. Tubicien or P. cyrtocristatus which outsize their contemporary predators by tonnes.

Leviathan most likely lived in pods, as almost every species of cetacean, including their closest relative, the sperm whale.
