The world must have been an amazing place when dinosaurs roamed the earth.

(I am not so sure about the Megalosaurus. Even one might be a bit too much to handle.)  -----   In that case, how about a T-Rex ?




Equus Capensis or the cape giant zebra was a powerfully built equid, it resembled a modern heavy horse, however it may not be as big as the latter. It stood about 15hh - 16 hh or more at the withers and weighed about 400 - 600 kg.

Fossils have been found in South Africa.


(The size of E.capensis is based on the article by Vera Eisenmann.)




The broad-fronted moose, cervalces latifrons, was a large moose-like deer is the largest deer ever existed. It had the same mass as the American bison despite being much taller. Cervalces latifrons was 2.1 - 2.5 m (7 - 8 ft) tall and weighed about 1 - 1.2 tonnes. It is larger than its North American relative cervalces scotti, megaloceros giganteus and the modern moose. But the span of its antlers at 2.5 m (8 ft) was smaller than that of megaloceros.

Fossils have been found in Asia and Europe (Croatia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, UK.)
