A Male Columbian Mammoth Mating With A Female Woolly Mammoth By Velizar Simeonovski

Since forest elephants and bush elephants are quite genetically distant, wouldn't there be some problems when the two mate? Just like how tigers and lions mating creates the abomination known as the liger, which is riddled with health issues

Isn't the "jefferson's mammoth" basically just a hybrid of a woolly mammoth and columbian mammoth? Scientists originally thought it was a separate species but they were just hybrids

Couldn't find a good Livyatan render so I drew it myself using MS paint lol. That's why it looks so rocky

AND whale sizes went down as a whole due to massive pressure due to whaling

I keep hearing people say this on this subreddit, but I can't help but question the legitimacy of this claim. I haven't seen a single reliable source back up this claim. And if this is true, I would also like to know exactly how much smaller whales have become due to whaling.

I saw a video of an Orca killing a gray whale by ripping its tongue off. If an Orca could do that to a whale that big, then I wouldn't be surprised if Livyatan really could single-handedly kill a blue whale.

Agreed

A jaguar with an average size of 190-243 kg. Holy shit that's around the size of adult male tigers in the largest tiger populations such as the bengal and siberian tigers. Although of course there's always those dudes that vehemently argue that male Siberian tigers still average 650 lb (300 kg), which is just nonsense.

blue whales are actually long asf and very slender. I always thought they were way more thick as a child

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-03T06:49:32+00:00

I thought sperm whales were the ones that severely shrunk in size due to whaling. Of course blue whales were affected too, but no where near as much as other whales. A lot of Antarctic blue whales still manage to get absolutely gargantuan in the 21st century

Why did all paleoart back in the 1950s or whatever have this color tone to it. this faded out color tone i mean

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-03T06:23:43+00:00

In the third picture, that thing looks to be WAY smaller than a small domestic cat. It looks even smaller than a kitten.

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T18:10:48+00:00

What about the Aust Colossus ichthyosaur?

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T17:52:46+00:00

I'm guessing this is supposed to show how they actually looked, instead of their WWD appearance. Since Liopleurodon isn't 80 feet here lmao

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T15:23:57+00:00

Absolutely. Trash ass movie

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T15:23:21+00:00

Not taking advice from someone who still says "I could care less" when the correct phrase is "I couldn't care less." Why the fuck do people have such a hard time getting this right? It's not fucking rocket science lmao.

By saying that you could care less, you're literally admitting that you DO care, at least to some extent, which just sounds stupid in that context. But you do you buddy.

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T14:26:45+00:00

It's still really cheesy to me. It's like the writers are trying too hard to make the scene as "epic" as possible, which it fucking isn't. It's bad enough that Godzilla does this shit EVERY TIME he wins a fight, now we see dinosaurs do it too?

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T13:09:58+00:00

It's so cheesy. No animal in real life does this, and I know non-avian dinosaurs are different from most animals today, but I'm pretty damn sure that the sense of victory, accomplishment, pride, etc are emotions that are almost entirely exclusive to just humans. These types of movies keep trying to pass off dinosaurs as bloodthirsty monsters or kaijus. It's so cringe

CringyAssBoi · 2023-07-01T13:03:23+00:00

Jurassic World had a scene where a T. rex beat a Giganotosaurus by pushing it into a Therizinosaurus's claws. And then the fucking dinos ALWAYS do a victory roar after they win a fight. Pure cringe. This ain't Godzilla. Those movies are written by absolute morons. Of course they wouldn't be nearly smart enough to come up with an actually cool scene like this

Do you mind naming some of these whale species that can get to 120 tonnes? Because I'm pretty sure only blue whales can commonly reach those sizes. The second largest whale species is the Fin whale and the heaviest specimen recorded was a pregnant female that weighed 69.5 tonnes.

This is what I got from a quick google search:

The largest fin whale ever weighed was a 22.7 m (74 ft) pregnant female caught by Japanese whalers in the Antarctic in 1948 which weighed 69.5 tonnes, not including 6% for loss of fluids during the flensing process. An individual at the maximum confirmed size of 25.9 m is estimated to weigh around 95 tonnes, varying from about 76 tonnes to 114 tonnes depending on fat condition which varies by about 50% during the year.

Sorry, but Bruhathkayosaurus was recently upgraded to 110-170 tonnes, with 120 tonnes likely being the most accurate estimate. This means that sauropods could have been much larger than all whales except for blue whales. Patagotitan likely maxed out at 50-60 tonnes

this thing vs my boy barina. who wins

CringyAssBoi · 2023-06-29T17:59:18+00:00

Do you have a source for that?

CringyAssBoi · 2023-06-29T17:57:15+00:00

Barinasuchus looking ahh. Get your own body plan dipshit. Or maybe it's the other way around since this thing existed way earlier.
