The diet of Pulmonoscorpius is not known directly, but it is probable that it preyed on smaller arthropods, and small tetrapods (new arrivals). [3]Most complete specimens were 13–280 mm (0.51–11.02 in) in length, while a large, fragmentary specimen is estimated to have been 70 cm (28 inches) long when alive.
The species was described on the basis of an incomplete single free finger of a right pedipalp (In31405), almost 10 cm (3.9 in) long. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The complete animal is estimated to have been 77.2–91.5 cm (2.5–3.0 ft) long for females and 86.2–94 cm (2.8–3.1 ft) long for males, [ 3 ] making Brontoscorpio one of the largest known scorpions.
Gigantoscorpio willsi is an extinct species of scorpion [2] [3] which lived between 345.0 million and 342.8 million years ago, during the Visean age of the Carboniferous. [4] Its type specimen is BMNH In. 42706a,b, In. 42707, which is a 3D body fossil of its exoskeleton found near modern-day United Kingdom . [ 5 ]
Hadogenes troglodytes is a species of scorpion from southern Africa.It is commonly known as the flat rock scorpion and commonly sold on the exotic pet market. [1] [2] It was once regarded as having the longest recorded body length of any scorpion, reaching up to 20 cm; [3] however Heterometrus swammerdami currently holds the record for being the world's largest scorpion at 9 inches (23 cm) in ...
Another huge animal of this group was Uintatherium, with skull length of 76 cm (30 in), 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) tall at the shoulder, [146] 4 m (13 ft) in length and 2.25 t (2.48 short tons), the size of a rhinoceros. [147] Despite their large size, Eobasileus as well as Uintatherium had a very small brain. [146] [147]
Male gharials may grow up to a length of 7 m (23 ft). [125] [27] The heaviest recorded gharial was a male measuring 6.25 m (20.5 ft) in total length and weighing 977 kg (2,154 lb). [126] The False gharial is also a large crocodilian with males reaching 5 m (16 ft) in length, weighing up to at least 590 kg (1,300 lb). [33]
