Reply #787 - Here stands a bear definitely big enough to take on a gaur face-to-face. Reply #791 - It's like comparing the Australian salt water crocodile with the Nile crocodile, or the white rhinoceros with the Great Indian rhinoceros. The difference is so little that it is rather redundant to claim one larger than the other. *I love these size comparison pics

Consider too that Tremarctos ornatus was only half the size of T. Floridanus.

Nice size comparison but the largest scientifically verified polar bear is 1760 pounds rather than 2200 pounds (a hunting record).

I wish the Asian straight tusk elephant was still alive.

WORLD OF PREHISTORIC CREATURES Science: Equus giganteus: The Giant Horse: The giant horse (Equus giganteus) is an extinct species of horse which lived in North America starting in the Blancan, and become extinct out about 12,000 years ago near the end of the Pleistocene around the same time as many of the other megafauna of the Americas. Standing up to 2.25 m (7 ft 5 in) tall at the shoulder and weighing 1200–1500 kg (2600- 3300 lb).

WORLD OF PREHISTORIC CREATURES Science: Titanotylopus Nebraskensis: A Giant Prehistoric Camel: Titanotylopus called as "Titan" thanks to his gigantic size, is an extinct genus of terrestrial herbivore in the family Camelidae, endemic to North America from the late Hemphillian stage of the Miocene through the Irvingtonian stage of the Pleistocene. It was one of the last surviving North American camels, after its extinction, only Camelops remained. Its closest living relative is the Bactrian Camel. The average height was 3.5 m (11.5 ft). Like the alive camels, in Titanotylopus exist a hump for fat storage; evidence for this is provided by the long neural spines on the thoracic vertebrae.

In the last two comparisons, we can see that the Agriotherium africanum has a rather substantial size advantage over the Kodiak bear.

brobearI agree; here is a direct comparison between the two:

Reply #797: great one Taker. The best of the land wins 9/10 times.
Reply #798: Africanum crushes the cat most likely 10/10 times.
Reply #800: Africanum 6/7 out of 10.

Reply #803 - Fantastic bovine comparison 'Taker. I know that this required a great deal of research.

/\ That male leopard is an exceptionally large male and the spotted hyena is only slightly larger than average from the looks of it. I believe a spotted hyena Matriach would be slightly larger than that.

I think the bison is the most robust pound to pound despite not having the largest horns.
