Answer: an Allosaurus measures 8.5 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, a Triceratops at 9 m.
The common large predator of its day: far more Allosaurus fossils exist than T. rex ones.
Common miss: players tend to inflate an Allosaurus when it sits beside a Triceratops — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a Brachiosaurus measures 22 m (length / span), which is 1.8× as big as the reference, a Tyrannosaurus rex at 12.3 m.
Brachiosaurus held its neck upward, making it far taller than long-tailed sauropods of similar length.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Brachiosaurus when it sits beside a Tyrannosaurus rex — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a Triceratops measures 9 m (length / span), which is 1.1× as big as the reference, an Ankylosaurus at 8 m.
The skull alone could reach 2.5 m, among the largest of any land animal.
Common miss: players tend to compress a Triceratops when it sits beside an Ankylosaurus — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a Diplodocus measures 25 m (length / span), which is about 1.5× smaller than the reference, a Space Shuttle orbiter at 37.3 m.
Almost half of Diplodocus was tail, which may have cracked like a whip.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Diplodocus when it sits beside a Space Shuttle orbiter — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
Answer: a Stegosaurus measures 9 m (length / span), which is about 1.1× smaller than the reference, an Iguanodon at 10 m.
A brain the size of a lime, in a body as long as a bus.
Common miss: players tend to inflate a Stegosaurus when it sits beside an Iguanodon — big things get squeezed, small familiar things get stretched.
