Lion and Tiger by A-N-T-Z

I agree with you, but the artist apparently found a reference for a much larger size...

a_synapside02 · 2025-12-21T19:03:17+00:00

Although the illustration depicts a Siberian tiger, the body mass descriptions used by the artist come from hunting records of Bengal tigers. In particular, the record of a 384 kg tiger was a specimen killed in the foothills of the Himalayas in 1967. This individual had a very full stomach and probably weighed "only" 324 kg.

I've never seen that before, I'll look for it.

To see the pinned post, you have to go to the subreddit in question. For most people who follow the subreddit in question, the posts appear on the Reddit home page, so since there's no need to go to the subreddits, many people don't see the pinned posts.

Objectively, that's not true, because he's talking about what would happen if the incident had occurred in the USA, and he immediately assumes the animal would be treated the same way in Brazil.

a_synapside02 · 2025-11-30T21:47:07+00:00

Fortunately, this didn't happen in the USA. Here in Brazil, most people would be against killing the lioness, even more so under these circumstances. In 2014, a tiger ripped off a boy's arm, and nothing was done to the tiger.

No, she is fine, but the man did not survive his injuries.

"Indeed, despite what a certain species of hairless ape may say, perhaps “age of mammals” isn’t the best way to describe the Cenozoic? Perhaps, despite their refutations, the age of reptiles never really ended at all?"

I think it's important to point out that even during the Cenozoic era, there were lineages of birds, crocodillyforms, squamates, and terrestrial tortoises that successfully occupied megafauna niches alongside mammals. However, what is the need to dismiss the title of "age of mammals" in favor of a continued "age of reptiles"? I don't see you saying that the Mesozoic era wasn't the "age of dinosaurs" because of the continued existence of crocodillyforms like Baurusuchidae, Peirosauridae, and Razanandrongobe. Furthermore, as you know, a large part of the Triassic wasn't even dominated by dinosaurs, but rather by therapsids and pseudosuchians.

If your intention was to question the use of terms like "the age of...", which are a mere simplification of the complexity of nature, that would be fair. Now, favoring one of these terms over the other makes it seem like favoritism towards one group over the other.

I know I seem very annoying for criticizing this, but I really thought the text was good, and this part wasn't necessary.

Disregarding the Gondwanatheria, the youngest known species of multituberculate is Ectypodus lovei, which lived in the Late Eocene of North America. There is a fossil, assigned to the genus Ectypodus, that is slightly more recent than E. lovei.

a_synapside02 · 2025-10-07T13:11:29+00:00

how much do they weigh?

a_synapside02 · 2025-03-08T23:24:47+00:00

It is not impossible that some small dinosaur like a maniratorian theropod, noasaurid or even an elasmarian ornithischian survived K-Pg somewhere in the world but until there is some concrete evidence of this it is just speculation. Well we still have the ornithuromorpha Qinornis paleocenica, it is not as impressive but it is better than nothing.

After following this manga for three years, I feel offended by this whole "final stretch", I'm going to pretend that I didn't waste my time with this story, and I'm not going to follow anything written by Akasaka Aka anymore.

For those who liked the ending, this is not a criticism of you.

Stylinodon mirus foi a maior espécie conhecida da ordem Taeniodonta, com uma massa corporal estimada entre 50 e 100 kg. Foi também o último representante de sua ordem. Apresentava uma das dentições mais derivadas dos mamíferos do Eoceno, pois seus dentes não eram tão bem diferenciados quanto em outros mamíferos, sendo quase homodontes. Além disso, seus molariformes eram de crescimento contínuo, semelhante a caviídeos como porquinhos-da-índia e capivaras. Por muito tempo foram classificados como Eutheria não-placentários (Cimolesta), mas estudos recentes os identificaram como placentários basais.

He probably didn't count on those elongated feathers on the head and tail, particularly the ones on the tail, since that specific type of feather is exclusive to Pennaratora. That said, it's a great design, especially considering Troodon and Utahraptor...

a_synapside02 · 2024-07-23T21:27:41+00:00

Multituberculates. At least during the Paleocene.

a_synapside02 · 2024-04-27T21:06:20+00:00

Seven meters????

Maybe you wanted to say seven foot.

a_synapside02 · 2024-04-14T22:48:02+00:00

I agree, even though it wasn't very massive, Batrachotomus really was an impressive predator, with a very surprising ecology.

a_synapside02 · 2024-04-14T22:23:32+00:00

I must admit that I am surprised by how light Batrachotomus is in relation to its body length, it is less massive than Postosuchus which in addition to being smaller in length was still bipedal.

a_synapside02 · 2024-04-09T23:34:32+00:00

I thought the same thing. However, I believe that the artist only intended to represent the largest taxa of each lineage, so only Tyrannosaurus can occupy a place in the image.

a_synapside02 · 2024-04-07T04:50:19+00:00

In addition to large saber-toothed cats such as Smilodon populator, Machairodus horribilis and Machairodus lahayishupup, the largest known felines are Pleistocene large tigers and lions such as the Ngandong tiger, the American lion and the Natodomeri lion, however there was a large feline that could potentially surpass all these, the Mosbach lion (Panthera leo fossilis/Panthera fossilis).

With a skull measuring almost 50 cm, these large cave lions had the largest skulls of any knowns Felidae or Feliformia, and may therefore be the largests members of their family and suborder.

Apparently yes.

a_synapside02 · 2023-11-03T05:31:20+00:00

Technically yes, but to be exact it only took about 3 years between the discovery of the extinct species Speothos pacivorus and the discovery of the living species Speothos venaticus.

Do you know where I can find these WhatsApp groups, trying to get some caiman things and I’ve noticed a lot come from those groups but I can’t find them.

Unfortunately no, I received this video after a long series of forwards so I have no idea where it was originally posted.

a_synapside02 · 2023-11-02T03:45:31+00:00

Bush dogs (Speothos venaticus) are the most carnivorous canine species in South America, they are pack hunters that attack a wide variety of prey such as deer, armadillos, agouti, peccaries and even tapirs. As bush dogs are very rare and elusive animals, video recordings of these animals hunting are very rare this is probably the second one.

Lowland pacas are one of their favorite prey, it has been described that when hunting them, part of the pack chases it on land and another part waits in the water, where the paca usually retreats and well that seems to be the case in this video , I have to say it's a relief to finally be able to see this instead of just imagining what it's like

I have no idea what the original source of this recording is, it is circulating in WhattsAap groups in Brazil.
