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 ...

Various carnivorans, with feliforms to the left, and caniforms to the right. Carnivora is an order of placental mammals that have specialized in primarily eating flesh.

The largest mammal carnivorans of all time are marine pinnipeds, the largest of which is the southern elephant seal, which can reach more than 6 m (20 ft) in length and weigh up to 5,000 kg (11,000 lb).
Here are some images of the northern green anaconda, indigenous to the Orinoco Basin of the Amazon and "magnificent" in size.
An ancient relative of ungulates, Andrewsarchus, may have been the largest carnivorous land mammal ever, despite almost all living species being herbivorous. Known only from a 0.83 m (2.7 ft) skull found in Mongolia, about twice the length of a modern brown bear skull, this great beast has been estimated to range as high in size as 2 m (6.6 ft ...
